Great great is overstating it a little bit. It's worth a watch, but we're not talking GOAT status here.

I didn't say GOAT. But it is a great movie.

Is it the best movie I've ever seen? No. Will it go down as a classic film studied in film classes? Nah. Win Best Picture? No, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see it snag a Screenplay nomination, although movies released this early are often not recognized 6 months from now when nominations come out.

But I walked out of the theater completely satisfied and filled with a joy that all movies should strive to elicit from a viewer. I texted several of my friends that are movie buffs and told them to see it. I started a thread here, which brought several posters in agreement saying it was one of their favorite movies of the year.

It's at 88% critics and 89% audience on RT.

It's a great movie. Not GOAT. Great. In my opinion, of course.

But "Worth a watch" is certainty understating it quite a bit imo.

But way to be contrarian
