Will post full thoughts later tonight but dayum, torn between this and Arrival as my favourite of the fest and the year. Everyone is amazing, Shannon MVP and along with ATJ almost stole the entire film with the epic scenery chewing which doesn't feel out of place, Amy is good although Jake only just overshadows her and she is better in Arrival, McGarvey X Ford X whoever did the set and costume design combo da gawd visually, and Abel whatshisface needs more recognition as his score had a classically melodic presence (A Single Man had this too) that is rare in today's films. The way Ford intercut the narrative is fantastic and the re enacted novel part of the story really felt like a page turner book would - he nailed this.
I think that's actually all my thoughts haha. But yeah, may post a more coherent review later.
