SEEN 4 SEPT
First-day-first-show energy in the theatre made this twice as fun as it probably deserved to be. Whistles and claps through the entire second half, the crowd was fully locked in. Judging this purely on script terms would be unfair — this is a theatrical experience first. The interval block is one of the best I've seen this year, genuinely well staged. Second half loses some steam once the initial high wears off, but recovers for the climax. Music is serviceable, a couple of tracks will probably grow on me after a few more listens. For the FDFS crowd energy alone, this was worth being there for.
WHERE
OTT
Solid watch, though I'd rank the director's previous one higher.
The writing is sharper than people gave it credit for.
Seen it twice now and picked up new details both times.
Honestly this deserved a much wider release.
Fair review. The hype around it was doing a lot of work though.
The climax divided everyone I know. Where did you land on it?
Music was the real hero of this one.
Good call on the rating, that's about where I landed too.
This one's better the less you know going in, agreed.
Underrated performance from the supporting cast here.
Saving this thread, want to revisit after I watch it.
Everyone slept on this when it released.
Might be the director's most confident film yet.
Watched with a packed house, made a real difference.

Criminally overlooked at the time of release.
First half is a breeze, second half tests your patience a bit.
Honestly the trailer did this film no favours.
