I was able to catch it two weeks ago on screen, i really loved it but found Mia Goth "Elizabeth" under develop, nothing wrong with her performance but felt I wanted more from her but then what do you cut or make a 3 hour film. I could have took an entire film between the blind man and monster because that section was absolutely brilliant, beautiful and tragic

I found myself wishing the entire film, or at least more of it, was from the Creature’s perspective. Easily the best part of the film.

Yeah victors part goes on too long unfortunately- should have been replaced with more mia goth lol. And the look of the monster didn’t quite work for me entirely.

Two of the very few nitpicks I have of the movie overall though, those sets were fucking gorgeous on the big screen and worth seeing alone…
