BB’s review published on Letterboxd:
Cannes ‘21 #2
So I had a wonderful time out on La Croisette tonight and at the Ceremonie d’Ouverture (my first!! Heartwarming and cool!). Afterwards, I was close to and in conversation with some absolute cinema luminaries and made some delightfully friendly new French friends. But as for the film…
The film can fuck right off. There is one shot of a coyote that’s great, and one of a salamander that’s fairly neat, and other than that nearly every choice is just horrendous. Horrendous. Twee. Cloying. Aimless. Worthless.
A gigantic piece of shit. In short. If this is Sparks then I am not a Sparks fan. Gag reflex inducing. Awful. The music was dogshit from beginning to end. Frankly, only an idiot would enjoy this. Fucking terrible.
Nice to be at the ceremony nonetheless!
