this came so out of left field and its amazing! not perfect but I'm so surprised at how much plot they were able to pack into this without making it overbearing.
the cast is fantastic and the voiceovers for each the characters was chef's kiss

Quando ho letto "dramma" nel genere non pensavo fosse così commovente ma, damn almeno abbiamo avuto un buon finale

This is a beautifully shot film but the lynching scene was so hard to watch

Really loved the last 30 minutes, absolutely poetic and beautiful and just amazing but the rest of the movie dragged a lot and was mostly exposition.
