Ratings and reviews

One of those movies that you keep putting off until later. But honestly, this is one of the best movies of the century so far. (in my opinion) it provides a convincing story, so that you know it's possible to exist in the real world, and doesn't become totally unrealistic; unlike Swiss Army Man. Yet, it somehow becomes a genuinely nice movie that you would enjoy a second time and shows a journey that you would love to take one day.

Agreed with everyone. Great film and acting. More impressed with this than joker. Wrong crew got the Oscars. Do yourself a favour and watch this movie.

Forgettable and over the top.
