Great acting, showy directing

Rating: 7/10 (9 April 2019)

It's the actors that make this worth a watch. Olivia Coleman and Emma Stone are excellent and bring a real quality and meaning to a story that could have been dull. The direction is too much though, with very wide lenses and an editing style that brings too much attention to itself. And a horrible use of music. The film is also split into sections, or chapters, but for what reason I can't guess. Style over substance maybe but luckily the substance is very strong.
