I kinda expected a genre nerd like GDT to do noir homage right, but this suffered from the usual trappings of such things, lingering over cosmetics to the determinant of any kind of narrative momentum. And, echoing several posts upthread, that running time is absurd.

Replace "noir" with "Victorian gothic horror" and the same criticism applies to Crimson Peak

three months pass...

I’m sad Morbius didn’t get to see the remake.

This was a perfect airplane film - ate up lots of time and pulled you into its weird world extremely effectively. I loved it. Did a great job making you root for Bradley Cooper for far longer than you should.

I liked it a lot as well. My fave GdT in a while.
