A real mixed bag. As I say when my son's soccer team sets up a play but doesn't finish in goal, it was just a "good idea." So many moments in the film captured intense emotion and controversial topics, but simultaneously watered each other down. Zoë Saldaña is an incredible talent and brings a unique energy to the role-- she is so captivating to watch. The attempt at weaving in unexpected musical numbers throughout was ambitious and interesting, but ended up being more of a "good idea" than an actual win. Given the hype I wanted more from the movie. But I champion filmmakers and actors taking risks, so I appreciate the film from that perspective.
