Become a paid subscriber to get access.I saw it, I loved it. And you nailed it.The only thing you didn't touch upon (except the reference to a dreamy Europe) was the juxtaposition and contrasting of primary colors, then discordant pastels. I interpreted this to signify how Bella is "seeing" for the first time, like a baby. That was captured beautifully.
I’ve been dying to see this movie and I can’t wait after reading your review. 💓
