Twitter Capsule: One strong lap for studio cinema, one sidewinding path for its storytellers. Too ambitious and spread out? Amazing sound.

VOR: ④  The history it tells obeys a few well-worn limits, but its vantage on its subject is impressively demythologizing. Rethinks genre and style completely.
