    ★★½

    Rare situation but I wish I hadn’t seen it in theaters. There was laughter at moments that felt like they deserved more respect or something, and that is partly what happens in big crowds but also what happens when you lean on humor to keep your pacing up. 

    I can say for sure the acting was phenomenal, but when the credits rolled I felt uneasy. 

    The stellar performances, nice tits, and overall capable production is hiding that this is basically a grittier Pretty Woman without the happy ending, plus there’s more character development in Pretty Woman.

    Biggest 180 experience in a theater I’ve ever had. During the first act I was bored and annoyed and felt patronized. The last 30 minutes was some of the most fun I’ve ever had at the movies. 

    Does it feel like the whole concept coulda been a short story? Yes. But dudes have been doing that in sci fi for decades so I’m gonna let her have it.

    Hard to rate this one… visually stunning and the sound mixing is out of this world.

    But I didn’t know it was a 3 hour slow cinema slog when I went into the theater. (Something that keeps happening to me and I’m calling it “getting Last Night at Dragon Inned”)

    Didn’t love all the Catholicism too. 

    Had a nice nap, which fit in with Tarkovsky-esque dreamy vibes.

    Dan Stevens needs to be a weird little flute guy in every movie
