I came out entranced by Hans Zimmer's score which I sat through to the very end of the final credit.
Why start with the music?
Well, this movie has all the pacing of an opera: long on words, long on exposition, just long...but absolutely mesmerizing and otherworldly.
In spite of its monumental scope, it's also a remarkably intimate and minimalist film focused on story and its protagonists at all times. Even the gargantuan special effects are often relegated to the hazy background.
Sound effects never fray above the score. The score is everything.
Where Lynch went full 80's Kitsch, this is Wagner's Ring Cycle, and Villeneuve successfully ushers a universe filled with myths, lore and GOT level political intrigue. The force is strong with this one...

Sex and the City meets the Devil Wears Prada meets Paris Je t'aime,
Every cliché successfully blends what is utterly annoying about the French and what's irresistibly charming. The subtle culture clashes, like "we work to live and you live to work" are spot on.
Looking forward to Season Deux!

Night One is simply epic in its narrative.
Night Two is sunk because Gleason's performance of Trump is understated and highly impacted by his Irish accent.
Who cast this???
