    Very unique editing style and take on the heist genre. While it isn’t really a heist per say the series of unfortunate events that happen all the while converging onto multiple storylines coming together is fun. Oh and Brad Pitt’s accent carries.

    Very unique and feels like it’s part of this new trend in films not being afraid to just be good because they’re unique and have a story to tell. The score carried so much weight to it as well. Wasn’t a home run but definitely wasn’t bad either, I enjoyed my time with it!

    Really well edited and put together about the importance of our humanity. I think this should be a required watch for anyone interested in psychology. It shines a light on so much and what ultimately begins with something heartwarming unravels into something much more devious

    Honestly a bit disappointed because using religion as a device for horror/thriller is one of my favorites. But just felt like a movie you’d seen before that had a different take on it. Also too many avenues/ideas to go down all in the runtime.
