Yeah, the lip-lock in the trailer was enough I'll read about it someday.

When they use the phrase "gender norms" I accept it that they are admitting that the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ stuff is abnormal.

If you want to see a good film, spend your money on "Dunkirk". I have seen the film three times. The entire cast did an excellent job.The characters are based in history, but are fictional. This is a knockout performance of Kenneth Branagh.

Charlize Theron is the picture definition of pretty on the outside but ugly on the inside, on my list of won't pay a penny to see one of their movies.

@Mad Max

Did you get the opportunity to see it on IMAX?  I didn't get IMAX 70 mm, but digital.  Still....WOW!

The audio experience...those rifle bullets felt like they were actually striking my seat.

Branagh is good in everything he's in.   He was very good as Heydrich in "Conspiracy."

I did not know that they had an IMAX version. Christopher Nolan really did a fantastic job in directing this film. He might win an Academy Award for this film.

And he played Kurt Wallander in the English language version of "Wallander." A series on Netflix.

He acts, and has directed too. He can do an American accent, too.
