"Peter Greenaway’s most accessible work. Accessible being a relative term…"

"If you like MidSommar, this will probably interest you. God this movie is just... Wow— in a good way. I haven't been that tense, engaged and emotionally invested all at once in awhile. The color grading is gorgeous, and it's quite heavy in themes of violence and abuse but a well deserved watch! You can watch the uncensored version on Peacock (I used the free trial) "

"If each star is a decade of my life I will vividly remember this movie, it's worth all 5 stars. ... ... ... I guess ellipses are all I can say. "
