Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
