CGiii Comment

Sit back, take a long deep breath...and, prepare yourself for the unexpected. An absolute spectacle!

Hardly a word said, this is all about expression.

The drone shots are astounding...hey, the whole film is astounding.

Technically and imaginatively...they don't come better than this. As for the central performance...thrilling!
