Interesting movie; I didn't connect with this one as much as I wanted to, and it felt like such a slow burn that doesn't really all come together. But the ideas it's playing with are interesting and it's one that sticks with you as far as leaving something to unpack.

It was interesting seeing Pharell get real about all the other things that distracted him from music over the years, though narratively I think they missed in not more directly acknowledging all those things still pulling him away/being part of who he is holistically.

Feels like it was possibly designed more for digital than film, as seeing it on 70 millimeter, I had questions about the cinematography — curious to see how it looks on digital.
