I really want to love it
Incredible performances, several amazing scenes, but doesn't come together for me. Probably better after several viewings, which would be helpful to take in some more of the intricate symbolism and some more nuance that I definitely missed. However, this movie nails it's unique style as a Gruesome Fairy Tale of sorts. Sadly, I didn't feel Damien Chazelle's usual tension and emotion, even in his intense and unique ending. I'm really hoping I'll find whatever I missed in my next viewing, I really want to love it. Sorry for this compliment sandwich, this is coming straight off the top of my head.
