Ambitious and intriguing, although not every narrative choice is equally convincing.

A film with personality: polished, engaging and easy to recommend.

The opening is promising, although the middle section loses some momentum.

There is real care in the details, especially in the quieter scenes.

A compelling idea, presented with confidence and a strong visual identity.

A well-balanced mix of emotion, spectacle and memorable moments.
