Reviews
Fantastic!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
