I get the fervent adoration this film has received. There is nothing quite like PTA when he’s given space to shine. That all said, this movie felt flat in places for me and I am going to have to sit with it for a bit before figuring out why. The film looked and sounded incredible, the actors were pitch perfect, the pacing was on point, so I… guess it was the writing? Hrmm…

Worth seeing obviously and one impressive feat was that it really didn’t seem like an almost 3 hour long film.
