Replying to @film_person
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️; I made the right decision seeing this show. A multiverse spectacular that is obviously wild but still finds a path in telling its cancer story. The award also for messy but cool stage decision too. Does well with expected ending & confusing timeline. Review Pending…
