3.5/5
The end result is a movie that, despite all appearances, doesn’t entirely escape convention, but it’s also teeming with enough verve and style to make it feel fresh. Go to Full Review Cody Dericks Next Best Picture 2d
7/10
But for those looking for a movie that doesn’t care about modern trends and is unapologetic about being visually wondrous and delightfully bizarre, this fever may be just what the doctor ordered. Go to Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) 3d
3.5/4
