Absolutely no idea why it was so long. Felt like a novel that had been plonked on the screen with no thought about how films work, with cul de sacs and time ellipses confusing and befuddling the audience. Felt as cold and sterile as concrete.  The central idea about belonging just all felt like it could have been said with more clarity and much more empathy. One of those films where you have to go off and listen to one hour podcast with the director to ‘get’.

I mean, if you like Dylan, you’re going to love the music. I liked the folk music history lesson and it’s very satisfying production-wise , but it’s pretty conventional and the female characters were too busy gawping wide eyed at Chalamet to have a meaningful arc.

I found myself trying understand the significance of this story to Germans (like the actors) whose grandparents might well have been cogs in the Nazi machine. We gawp at this period from what we think is the safe distance of time but the film makes the point powerfully that this is not a fantasy scenario we are all capable of going along with things, we are all oblivious. Hoss and his wife are obviously mindful of what they are part of, but are we like Helga’s mother, going along with the street sale of curtains but running away from the reality she has assented to? Or are we like the Polish girl, doing something about the situation, in whatever way we can. The soundtrack is so unrelenting and upsetting, the film was all tone, which is a good thing.
