    I enjoyed it and I think the hate it’s gotten is undue.

      So… Is it any good?

      It’s you or Rotten Tomatoes and I’d prefer to trust you.

        Good is obviously somewhat subjective but …

        It’s visually stunning in a way that rivals Moulin Rouge or Luhrman’s Romeo & Juliet.

        The cast is incredible and I found many of their performances quite interesting and entertaining.

        The story is unusual and compelling enough that it held my attention throughout, though I also think it’s reasonable to say that there are certainly confusing elements.

        I’m confident though that the main reason for the vast majority of the negative reviews are that the film draws strong parallels between certain unlikable elements and the MAGA movement in a way that upsets them.

          I view it like a really fun fairy tale or a dream like bed time story.

          It’s fun and a mess.

      I’m sure it’s fine but I don’t have the patience for these movies that are so far up their own ass in “style”. Also Coppola isn’t a good director. He’s a shit director who made a classic.
