I watched Sebastian Leilo's fantastic Oscar winning A Fantastic Woman so decided to give this a go.
I have to talk about the opening and closing scenes from the start. Unnecessary and pretentious they pulled me out of the movie from the start. Why were they in there? Doubtless someone will have an equally pretentious answer elsewhere in the reviews.
The film as a whole is good. Slow, but good. Florence Pugh is her usual brilliant self as is the rest of the cast. The story unfolds carefully and told via characters which is always welcome.
Is it possible that this will go up for Oscar's? Sure. At times this is a brilliant movie but it does have its problems.
