Jaina K’s review published on Letterboxd:
This film regularly hangs out at the bottom of my ranking.....but man there's a lot to love here. Clone troopers cool. Kamino cool. Noir tropes cool.
And incidentally; I love what Lucas was trying to do with Anakin and Padmé's relationship. These are two young adults that, due to their stations in life, had no idea how to interact with one another. Their relationship is supposed to be full of awkward bad communication. I think there's just a layer of "bad direction" layered over the top of the intentional awkwardness.
