A limited series squished into a movie format
The concept and execution is excellent and creative. The acting and casing is near perfect, The direction and editing hit he ball on every note
If you want explanation to why this movie isn't a 7/10, its because it is actually a 9/10 limited series. The entire film feels like 6 different hour long episodes were condensed to one and a half hours total.
There is so much backstory and further expansion for each character in this film, but it feels like it was all cut and removed to get it down to a 90 minute format.
So many dramatic notes, but nothing has a long enough time to just "sit there" and leave a lasting impact. Its all next-next-next. I mean, yes, we "get it" but we aren't invested like we would be with a longer story with the same quality.
