Editor Wendy Greene Bricmont shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

★ 7/10
The 3.5 star rating is strictly for the film. The experience of watching the film on the other hand... well, that's the ultimate level, like the boss level of a videogame but on a different plane of existence, otherworldly, majestic, magical, breathtaking. I had the honour, pleasure and privilege of watching this film with the Queen of the Universe... yes, yes, the one and only. "No you didn't," I hear you cry out and in the words of Tweety "I did, I did". The experience I will treasure, always.
