Which platform did you get this off of?

We actually did a rent through Amazon. I gave it a 7 because the performances were good, the music made me take notice, and it was unique, but to me, the great ambition fell a little short of a completely satisfying execution. Worth seeing/listening to.

We're part of a group of friends who have been meeting through the lockdown to watch films remotely together, and by something less than pure coincidence, everything we pick is great, and everything everybody else picks is awful.
