The pacing on this one is unreal. The drive sequence is the strongest twenty minutes they've ever shot. 🇿🇦
A new place. A new chapter. The beginning of an unforgettable journey together.
The first installment of a two-part South African event. Critics — defined here as anyone who has watched the unedited footage — are calling it 'expansive.' Filmed almost entirely at golden hour, which in South Africa is, evidently, most hours. From the opening shot to the final cut, the country plays the third lead.

Cinematography people will tell you a film is really about light. This film is what they mean.
Docked half a star for the rental-car subplot. Otherwise: a triumph.
