Viewing Notes

Probably shouldn’t be, but I was kind of surprised that we had the whole theater to ourselves. Seydoux is excellent, playing three different iterations of the same character across different times. This is certainly not a movie for most American audiences. I’m surprised, even more so after having watched it, that this is even in mainstream theaters. Glad I got to see it on the big screen though.
