Insane. I was locked in the entire time.
Edited to a perfect pace — tight but not rushed. The characters are very well written (no surprise, they were written by Cormac McCarthy). This is definitely one of the movies you rewatch to absorb everything.
I think the most surprising element was how much it felt like a book — dense but not tedious. I haven’t read the book (yet), so I’m not sure if this was how it was written or if it was brilliant screenplay adaptation. Regardless, I think they captured McCarthy’s essence well.
No wonder it won Best Picture.
