Amazing adaptation

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2019)

I read the book before seeing the movie and assumed there was no way you could translate the style of the book to film. I figured I would agree with the film's many detractors. Instead, I ended up loving this film very much! It definitely isn't a mere translation of the book to cinema-- but it GETS Heller's message and nails the almost cartoonish insanity of the novel's events and characterizations.
Beautifully shot. Perfect casting and performances. The editing is brilliant too. Just, I do not get the hate at all.
