A master class of film making!

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2020)

Ok let's get the monkey off this piece right off the bat.
IT"S LONG!!! Really long for pretty much any standard of film making but take a slow weekend evening and make a night of it and you will be rewarded.
Some would say the pace is slow, but I feel it tells the story at exactly the right pace to unfold the story.
There's nothing about this film that I can find to pick apart.
The writing is great, the acting and directing are spectacular.
The cinematography is not overwhelming and creates a completely encompassing reality without smacking you over the head with being a period piece.
With the enormous amount of garbage coming out of Hollywood these days just in the name of gorging on billions of dollars of revenue, this movie is classic Hollywood.
I did not find the CGI aging of the stars overwhelming or really even that noticeable. It will not detract from watching the story.
The entire cast and direction are the diamonds of the best films ever made.
If you are a fan of real, classic Hollywood, you cannot miss this film. Congratulations to Netflix for having the courage to invest in this project when I'm sure the rest of the Hollywood studios wouldn't touch it.
