Captivating, compelling

Rating: 7/10 (6 December 2019)

Beautiful camerawork. Long, classy shots with an ironic conciseness, considering the film is very long. Luckily, the pacing allows for a "set-down, pick up later" style viewing and the length, while a commitment, is warranted. Scenes were like the steaks often discussed, delicious to bite into and grippingly stylish. Themes of family, loyalty, masculinity, politics, friendship, age, and inevitable death are told here in a reflective, intoxicating way. Captivating, and very compelling.
