Well-made classical film

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2019)

I would say this is definitely a classic by all definitions but I also do not think it is a masterpiece by any means. I feel as if those who would call this movie "the best" are more likely older and have respect for writing, lighting, acting, story but that's it. The black and white is limiting but is utilized well to create stark contrast. Sam is such a fun character and Rick is one of the most subtly complex characters in any movie. It is an incredibly well made film but is definitely filled with a lot of dead-space and moves slowly at times.
