A Great Story with an Excellent Color Pallet

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2019)

I usually don't read reviews with a 10/10 so I didn't want to put a 10/10, but honestly I can't find anything wrong with this film. The story is well written, the locations look authentic, the acting is brilliant, and the cinematography and mise-en-scene portrays the emotions of the scenes well.
This film is a good example of a good use of narration, it is used sparingly and does not tell us everything we should be able to work out from the film itself. What I mean by this is that the narration doesn't tell us what is happening in the scene, or what different character's opinions are. Instead the narration is used to tell us who this next part is about, it reminds us that the film is taking place in the memories or Rocket (the main character/narrator) and that eventually we will return to the scene which the movie opened in, all while not distracting us from the story.
I mentioned the color pallet of this film in my title. The color pallet is something which usually goes overlooked in films, but in this it plays an important part. The main character is an aspiring photographer and having a good use of color is important in photography so it is important the shots should look photogenic so the main character is constantly being inspired to be a photographer.
