to be fair, it was only in 34 locations this weekend
hoping it expands pretty soon, so people not in the big cities can see it
and yeah, the cinematography was wow

i loved it, and it turns out Lanthimos's other films have eluded me, so those are on the list now
performances across the board were great, but i particularly loved Colman and Hoult. if i had a criticism, which i don't really, it's that it feels a bit like it does that thing where the main character gets what she wants with basically no effort - i would've liked to have seen a bit more tension there/battling between Stone and Weisz, but it's a minor thing, because it was so damn funny and fun to watch.
and then he's gotta bring in
it reminds me of The Death of Stalin a bit, though Lanthimos has a much better cinematic language than Iannucci in my opinion. and as i said, i loved the cinematography - so weird yet so sexy - which, is basically a good summary of this movie

I have to wait until January 3rd
Might be able to see it a week or two earlier (special screenings) if I don't have to work.
January 24th for me, you privileges snobs.
