Don't Believe the Hype
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
