I feel like many idiosyncratic competently made films are getting ridiculous amounts of praise at times but Hollywood is churning out sterile products so it could just be audiences craving something unique. Still I do look forward to watching it, a lot of intriguing reviews on letterboxd. Movies are pretty awful all summer then fall hits and I can't make time for so many good ones.
