I'm a bit conflicted about loving this movie unconditionally and being a bit more cynical and focus on some of its shortcomings to not like it. I'm leaning more on the first one due to its fantastic first chapter which I found just incredible in all aspects of filmmaking. From then on, with the exception of the introduction to the Antonio Banderas character which is another highlight, it didn't reach those heights, but that first chapter is really amazing. This is a hard movie to watch, as it is such an emotional roller coaster that by the end you're exhausted, but it is a hell of a ride. The acting is really good from everyone involved and the writing is also top notch. I'll just choose to ignore the sappy ending and some of the weaker storylines and just remember what I loved about this movie making this a bit of an unreliable review.
