Where to Watch The Ceremony
- Kevin WardFebruary 28, 2026Described as a slow burn thriller, but it only really encroaches into thriller territory a couple times in the latter half of the film. The rest of the film stays squarely in the ‘slow’ realm. So, I would set aside any thriller expectations. The black and white cinematography looks nice, but doesn’t necessarily feel warranted. I can’t really justify that as a legit criticism because it definitely makes the film look good. I was rather bored through most of this, unfortunately.
