Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Absolutely brilliant
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
