Lifted off the book, page by page, loyally. Not just in story, but in the filth that encases it as well
WE'RE BACK, BABY!
Not just another entry in "attempts to make a 90s thriller in 2023", this would have been one of the best thrillers of the 80s or 90s!
GORGEOUSLY shot, IMPECCABLY scored, DELICIOUSLY acted
Might not end as strong as it carries itself for the first 95%, but that's because if it had it would have become an all-time classic.

best christmas movie since eyes wide shut
I knew this was going to be good when I saw its based on a book by Ottessa Moshfegh! This film is cast perfectly! Love the overall style and it was unexpectedly funny at times.
*i couldnโt log this when i watched it but i think iโm allowed to now

The contrast between Driver and Cruzโs impressionistic performances and the exact Modena locations, the meticulous recreations of actual Ferrari enginesโฆ itโs unlike anything Mann has done before. What is the opposite of Thief? Little stylization, less handheld and more stationary cameras, panning and racking focus between characters as they command rooms, fixed to cars as they command the road. Itโs a new visual language for Mann to communicate the life-affirming and doomsaying power of everything in front of his camera.โฆ
