Tonally not always in harmony, but the high notes are beautiful.
Like only the best movies can I've been thinking about this movie on and off since I saw it. The trailer set it up as a very horror-forward movie and it is, just not in the way that I thought it was going to be. Instead of a straightforward From Dusk Till Dawn-style standoff with the supernatural, it was a very moving treatise on the power of community and how that differs from assimilation.
All of that and a sequence where the frame of the movie opens up (at least in the IMAX showing I saw) to very literally expand the world as Miles becomes a conduit between the musical past and future make this a movie I can't recommend enough
