Stringer Bell’s review published on Letterboxd:
Further proof this guy is the biggest hack in the industry and I will not be convinced otherwise. I'm so disappointed in Letterboxd.

Not a single good creative reason behind anything that happened in this scene, and it fully trickles down to the rest of the film.
Case in point that shot that he explains at 15:27 that he quote "took way too much time trying to get right" yet it adds literally nothing to the scene and ruins the flow of everything that happens. "but it's a cool shot, I wanted to include it" - criminal.
Sorry not sorry.
Listening to this guy talk is like listening to a toddler explain what he drew with crayon during class.
