Despite considerably more divisive reviews I preferred this to "Poor Things". Great cinematography, direction, subtly nuance roles, familiar, in the sense that every book or film you've ever read that involves an English public school is invariably fraught with homeo-erotic undertones, and the film pleasingly (and surprisingly) diverges from a very predictable "Class War" into something else entirely.
In any event, it underlines the point that "Universal Acclaim" is often no acclaim at all, it merely means you made something so mediocre that no one was challenged to think. Which is why I skipped "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" and probably should have skipped "Poor Things", but - this, with lower reviews, did not in the least disappoint.
