Eternals (dir. Chloé Zhao).

Sadly, Eternals feels somehow both far too much and not nearly enough somehow at the very same time. It seems unfortunate how Zhao left behind her more nuanced sense of humanist realism and intimate filmmaking about everyday people for such a maximalist experience full of messy excess. Her talented eye for grounded visual storytelling still shines through occasionally, but its vision remixed through the Marvel machine largely misses the mark in its often jarring construction.
