I loved this film. The subject matter, yes, but also the non-linear storytelling and the camera work - where you are in the POV of different characters - is a real revelation.
Looking forward to it! I’m ready for this creativity in story-telling. I can’t think of a recent movie I’ve seen that doesn’t do the (over-used?) timeline of : opening scene has event, fade to scene with a past date or “three days earlier”. Gotta finish the book first though!
