It might make you think of Narnia rather than a movie from one of the greatest living filmmakers.

Its also an absurd heros journey because the hero only descends further into danger.

We see this through Ritas movements as well.

She can no longer forget about the realities of life by drinking with her friends and flirting with soldiers.

People are celebrating engagements, immensely talented musicians are performing, and people seem stupidly happy.

But here, London is the main player.

McQueen imbues every character with so much depth that no one feels one-note.

A particular stand-out is Benjamin Clementine, whose introduction is perfectly timed.

Suffice it to say, he rose to it and then some.

It’s not a perfect movie, with its rushed and anticlimactic ending.

Its a deeply soulful and affecting movie that sends you into a tornado of emotions.
