    I can recognize the intrigue in what this film touches on, but I didn't really feel any of it, and I'm not sure that I would have even if my online life experience was closer to the one depicted here.

    I still think there's a missing layer of thematic depth that the last act sorely needs, but damn is it endlessly rewatchable.

    The pre-epilogue ending and a couple other story beats were a step off the mark for me, but that's just it: a step. Everything else is so well realized and visibly and audibly gorgeous that I still found myself swallowed up in everything this film had to say.
