As a fan of the book I was impressed with the movie. My husband on the other hand didn't really know what was going on or why. But I LOVED it! I still think it's worth watching even if you didn't read the book because you are transported to another world. There's SO much talent on every angle in this movie to be appreciated. Timothee Chalamet is so impressive. The scenes look so real. The music is so other worldly. It's so epic! Every time I turned around I was like whoa that was such a moment but it happened like 30 times.
