Phenomenal movie

It's a classic, not sure why the bad reviews here.

A well-crafted film with strong performances, tight pacing, and a story that keeps you engaged from start to finish. It doesn't overstay its welcome or rely on cheap gimmicks. Smart direction, clean editing, and just the right emotional beats. Definitely worth watching.

The cinematography is visually appealing without being distracting, and the soundtrack complements the mood perfectly. Characters feel believable and well-developed, and the plot unfolds in a satisfying way. Overall, a solid film that respects the audience's time and intelligence. Highly recommended.
