    Rewatching this in anticipation of the sequel coming out, and I was quite pleasantly surprised with how well it holds up at home. I was worried that not seeing it on a big screen would diminish some of spectacle, but it still feels as vast, beautifully desolate, and striking as it did in the cinema.

    For such a capital 'C' cinematic film, it's amazing how it doesn't get lost in its own sauce of scenery, and still manages to tell a complicated story of a complicated world in an interesting way.

    Only made me more excited for Dune 2/ D-two-ne/ Two-ne

    Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)

    ★★★★

    An enjoyably magnetic film, but I can't help think that its biggest feature - the one-shot nature - is also the thing that stops it being a truly great film. The film feels, like a lot of its characters, that it constantly needs your attention, like it is desperate for it. The needy nature of some aspects - including the runtime - distanced me from truly appreciating and loving it.
