As it turns out, I missed a couple things.

Nothing that helped to clear up any questions I was left with, as I still have many, but I can't deny being entranced by much of this.

It's slow, but there's some great stuff to see along the way if you want to take a bit of a trip.

Half-star bump up on rewatch.

I spent this watch really paying attention to Emma Stone. She is so good at playing a CEO highly trained at communications and PR that it really highlights how such folks truly are completely alien to the general public at large.

I was again taken by how fragile Jesse Plemons is, and Aidan Delbis gives a standout performance that just breaks my heart.

Stavros is good, too!

What can I say, guys? I just really love that Yorgos.

An interesting choice for the narrator to be a well-shot and lit silhouette of a guy wearing a fedora and smoking a cigarette, but I guess that's just the post-war Franco way.
My favorite moments were with Beby and his dog, Swing.
