The sound design got under my skin. I watched it a second time listening for the low notes and found the whole thing telegraphed beautifully.
I sat in the dark for a minute after the credits without moving. Then I texted my sister, which is the point of the film really.
Slow to start and I nearly gave up around the third briefing scene. Glad I did not. The last fifteen minutes reframed the whole thing.
