Just finished watching this. Visuals were stunning but the pacing felt a bit off in the second half. Still worth a watch!

I don't get the hype. The plot was predictable and the characters felt flat. It seems like style over substance to me. Maybe I missed something, but I was bored throughout.

An absolute masterpiece. The director managed to weave complex themes into a compelling narrative without it feeling forced. The cinematography is some of the best I've seen in years. Truly a cinematic experience that stays with you.
