They Agree
Jamie: Holy moly, this was fantastic! Everybody is doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing, and the cinematography is so good!
Knox: I love the choices Robert Pattinson is making and the performances he’s giving, and this is one of his best. An interesting case study in recent-ish history, but it also adds a unique lens on what happened and tells its own slice of the story in a fantastic way.
