Surprisingly good

Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2019)

Is it slow? Yes it is. Apart from that, The Assassination has no flaws. Despite the pace, you'll still want to know what happens next. The narration is beautiful, thanks to photography, intense dialogues and some poetic voiceover from the book. The psychological dynamic between James and Ford is perfectly depicted. Every single facial expression is gold. Acting is terrific by Affleck, Rockwell, and Pitt in perhaps his best interpretation. The moment of the assassination is a thing of beauty. Lastly, this movie has the best photography I've ever seen, and I mean it.
