Delirious + delightful. Electrifies the ‘talking heads-archives mashup’ doc format. Music is out of this world. Also, the brothers are *cinephiles*. Derived more than a few smiles from moi. Planning a Spotify deep dive. 11/10 recommend. (Marked down a star because this borders into being too much of a good thing, in terms of length and detail.)

I really enjoyed this, especially the end credit sequence, and will likely rewatch it within the week, month, year. Also, Steve Buscemi is brilliant - his performance here is The Death of Stalin-tier.

(I reserve my star rating for the time being as I feel very biased towards anything this personal and spit-take-filled from Sandler.)

Stomping, striding Judy Davis. Sickly, vampire-sounding Hugh. Hot-tempered Mandy Patinkin. Doddering Emma Thompson. Slickly seductive Bernadette Peters. All in 19th century garb, and all-in-all accurate-ish, I think? What more could you possibly want out of a period piece?

There's something(s) missing, but I really enjoyed it and its oscillations between finesse and unfussiness. But I also did not hate Pitt's perfume ad and believe anything Marion says while her eyes are open, so... It's a solid VOD watch on own or with date.
