7.8/10

Visually stunning, thrilling, entertaining, funny and a little frustrating. A very good movie. Money and sex. Palme d'Or good? Not sure.

Definitely not what I expected from the winner of the Palme d'Or. It's basically an action/comedy flick, except it's a very good one.

It's worth seeing for the performance of Mikey Madison (Ani) alone. Pretty amazing. Mark Eidelshtein (Ivan) does a great job as the spoiled kid of an oligarch. Paul Weismann is really funny as Nick.

I missed some character depth. A lot of characters are a little flat and bring just levity. Ivan's mom (Darya Ekamasova) felt a little too stereotypical.

Would love to see it again with, as I've already seen it, my adjusted expectations.
