One of those films the whole hall was invested in.
A crowd film in the best sense of the term.
Sags in the middle but the finish earns it back.
Went in cold and came out completely won over.

Solid, if a bit safe in the places it could have pushed.

Held up much better than I expected on a rewatch.
The lead performance is doing an enormous amount of work here.
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.

The score elevates every scene it's in.
