Masterful! Denis’ images have never been better imo, and the scale was breathtaking. My jaw was on the floor in an almost perpetual state from the wonder I felt, marveling at the composition and grandiosity of the picture. Love all the performances too, which work in perfect concert with the tone. The score is Zimmer’s best since Dunkirk by a country mile. It undeniably doesn’t reach the same levels of political intrigue as its written counterpart, but that in no way lessened…

Yeah this thoroughly owns! An unbelievable debut picture, directed with such poise that you’d think Lauren Hadaway has been making movies her whole life. The images crackle with electricity (sometimes literally lol) and the kinetic energy on hand is a sight to behold. There’s one gnarly, content warning-worthy scene that was extremely difficult to watch, and needs to be reworked in the next edits imo— but apart from that, it whips so hard that I can’t help but love! Isabelle Fuhrman is incredible, a raw nerve dancing on knife’s edge. When Film Twitter finds out about this it’ll go nuts!
