Oh this is a toughy.
It was beautiful. Just beautiful.
There were some elements that were just a bit off or not right. I didn't hate them, they just made me cock my head to the side.
But then there was the rest. The rest was just so wonderful. I loved the music, cinematography, the acting and direction of each scene. That said, for me, the best element was Peter Dinklag.
I don't do romance films...ever, but I needed to watch this when I saw him in the trailer and he did not disappoint. The detail in his facial expressions, the confidence in each move he made, the way he used his voice to sell each line.
That man is the embodiment of "I do this."
Haley Bennett. Did not know who she was and I now see that as a crime. Voice, face, acting, she gave it all.
For those 2 alone I would do 5 stars but a movie isn't made up of just two actors.
(Also, Ben Mendelsohn gave a whole Disney villain lvl performance. Top 3 moments lmao, was not expecting)
