    While it has interesting creative choices and is very well crafted visually (look no further from the enlisting sequence), this story was such a mess that it hurt. It's a jukebox musical, and when I think of that subgenre, the best example is, of course, Mamma Mia, which fills out all the boxes and has a fun story.

    Manages to be a calm film withoit beimg boring. Gotta say, when the đonkey showed up, I was sure that it'd turn into Event Horizon. Had no idea that Ruth Negga was in this, so it was a wonderfully pleasant surprise.

    The film altogether is a bit blunt, it lacks a certain something, a bit more humanity, I suppose.

    Gonna recommend the hell out of this to everyone I meet, no words, it's just that fantastic.

    This was one of those movies that I watched just before I became a teenager and it ended up affecting me for the rest of my life. The last ten minutes shock me anew with each new rewatch and I can never stop crying because of it.
