Approaches the genius of the novel. At times I think it leans too far into the comedic elements and sacrifices some of the inherent darkness at play. Maybe that’s necessary here though. It’s a very difficult balance to strike.
Visually, this may be my favorite movie of all time. The drug trips are obviously sick but the set design is what really makes this film. Just couldn’t get my eyes off the screen. Every shot was packed with interesting things to look at.
Overall I appreciate this adaptation and think it does justice to the parent text.
