Indeed "a beautiful mess"! Majestic, lavish, epic style! Hollywood seems to forgot what is a cinematic style, what is the story telling on epic scale. Francis Ford Coppola came with Megalopolis, to remind the Hollywood of its great potential. This is also those kinds of films that I personally enjoy immensely, dense with arguments and larger themes. (Prior watching it, I was aware about the negative reviews it received. That's why my expectations were different and I started it with unbiased mindset. I knew this is not a typical big budget movie.)
