I have seen this film four times now, and must say that I actually enjoyed it the most the last time: It did not pall, because of the richness of its texture, the interest one takes in the story, in the characters, in the relationships, and because of the chutzpah of some of the extraordinary scenes that take one completely by surprise, or assume a different significance each time one sees them without losing the sense of fun one had the first time. And one looks forward to seeing them again. I relished the acting performances, which are uniformly outstandingly good.These are believable human beings in extraordinary situations. The exploitation of the medium of film shows both great craftsmanship and great invention, an added dimension to enjoy. This is an accomplished piece of work, to which I would unhesitatingly have given 10 marks out of 10, but for one tiny aspect of the otherwise superb soundtrack: for very good reasons, with which I cannot quarrel, voices were at some moments distorted, which I found distracting. This is great work, and deserves recognition, acknowledgement and support: this team, with so short a past, has a great future.
