Nerdrotic nails it with this episode. I gave up on Star Wars when Disney took over and I am fortunate I have been spared the pain and suffering of watching them skull-fuck my childhood.

The Vast of Night has been one of those surprise finds that leaves you smiling at the end (no spoiler here) because you found the time well spent. I will refrain from stating anything about the story but will note the following:

-Acting is superb
-Cinematography sets the mood and carries it through the end
-Dialogue is well structured, convincing, and a force of its own
-The story is perfectly structured

This film did what so many great films do, teleport the viewer to another place and time, without them knowing.

Holly: Do you think she’s talented? Deeply and importantly talented?

Paul: No. Amusingly and superficially talented yes. Deeply and importantly, no.
