The entire time watching this, I figured my review would harken upon the age old idea of movie magic. How filmmakers use every trick in the book to take a series of images and manipulate the viewer into feeling what they want their audience to feel.

This one is absolutely jam packed with ideas
Full coverage coming post embargo right here!
