Monty W Perhaps I'm biased - but I think it's the best movie since Jeanne Dielman. The layered subtext of making sense of life or finding control in life through puppetry and likewise understanding that as puppets (of God or the Universe), we have no real control and that there is a freedom in that is pure existential gold. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
