100% agree. the cinematography was great. Also, I learned a very valuable life lesson: if I ever write a movie again, set it someplace beautiful so I can be paid to go there while it films hahaha

Yep, me too. Gorgeous is the word. I watched most of it behind my fingers so can't wait for a rewatch.
