This film is bland to downright stupid. It is so insipid, so uninspired, so unwilling to take literally any risk at all, so completely dependant on every single shot and scene being a call back to an earlier film. It is a tiresome 2.5 hours of everything and nothing happening all at once. There is no meaning to be found here, no joy, no depth at all. This film is an exercise in trying to do so much that it doesn't do anything at all. The nostalgia and references are so hamfisted that it goes beyond lazy to being downright insulting. The film is so afraid to stand on its own for anything at all that it renders itself completely pointless.

A masterpiece. Every shot looks like a painting. Beautiful cinematography, subtle but powerful acting, and a deeply moving script.
