Not perfect, but perfect for me.
It starts off slow and a little disjointed. I don’t totally buy the lead performance and the folk score never quite fits. For a movie that gets dragged for being inaccessible, it’s actually pretty heavy on exposition. It leans cerebral where I’d love something more spiritual. And the big ideas—the bond between self-destruction and transformation, and the unknowable other—still feel a bit disparate by the end.
But none of that matters. I love this…
