So wildly off the wall that I have to just give up on any kind of “real” critique. Sometimes those crazy choices really took me out of the film and had me thinking about the how and why a lot. I think for this to really hit a home run for me, I would have had to feel more transported despite those wild choices but I still just have to sit back and grin and admire the sheer audacity of it all.
