A Brilliant Conflict
A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
