Incredible imageries. It’s too bad the main character was shaped after Inarritu himself. I had the same problem with The Fablemans. It’s very distracting to know that the director was basically depicting his own life. Ironically I appreciated Armageddon Time; in that case, James Gray was extremely harsh on his younger self. Here (and in The Fabelmans), Inarritu wasn’t really critical of his protagonist. Bad things might happen but the character never felt at fault.

Still, the cinemagraphy was top notch. Worth watching for that alone!
