Review

as mentioned, the musical choices were poor. there were good songs, unfortunately they were used at the wrong time. russell really dropped the ball there because the right music would have really elevated the film for me. instead, i found myself unable to gauge what kind of tone russell was trying to strike. there were moments that felt heavy that had songs like “good times, bad times” from led zeppelin. great song from an amazing album, but it didn’t fit the gravity of the moment.

there will be some (well-deserved) acting nominations during the awards season, but i don’t think it warrants much more than that.
