Ho. Ly. Shit. 
I agree with other reviews - the first act was the strongest.
Joaquin nails it and I truly appreciate the art… it just didn’t fully land for me.

★★★★★

Phenomenal performances all around. Just wow. Lily and Leo left me in absolute awe. 
Yes, it’s long. But the pacing was masterful and I didn’t feel like anything was extraneous. 
The biggest impression I was left with was that everyone involved with this project truly cares about the people and telling their story as powerfully as possible.

Excellent story and realistic character portrayal. Sound was great. Some of the editing left me not immersed and I found it hard to fully feel with the characters.

I wanted Cuba’s directorial debut to go somewhere…

Wish I’d read it first. The narration style took some getting used to but… anything for Wes.

★★

Was kind of fun but… how’d she get into MI6 without a British accent?

★★★

Fun and interesting, but the build up wasn’t really there for me.
