This is a movie you ought to watch with your friends. Discuss it after you’re done. It has changed the franchise forever. If you do go, go with as many people as you can. This film is best when shared. Even if you go alone, like I did, go in a full theatre. It’s the theatre experience that elevates this one. And please, for goodness sake don’t watch it on your phone when it comes online.

The film is erratic in engaging and evoking empathy. Some parts are endearing, and a lot of it might seem extra. It has an interesting premise and innovative structure, and the music prevails through its jump cuts, creating a sense of unison, but the film drags at a slow pace.
