“Uninterested in giving us answers, or maybe not even in asking that many questions. Sometimes this works, though in other times, the movie’s liminal style leaves it with paradoxically little room.”
“For it to really work, the movie can’t ever break from an intimate connection with these people and their lives, and Branagh is too complacent here, overconfident in the belief that the inherent emotional significance of this story is enough.“
“Akin to a staggering choral piece, with overwhelming layers of sounds and countermelodies putting us right at the heart of everything, knocking us over.”
“Strongest when it gives us enough distance from the protagonist’s mind to plunge into the details of his frenzied perspective, and weakest when it’s too tethered to each of his assumptions to really think beyond the immediate present.”
