POSITIVES
Set entirely in one location, we’ve got here an intriguing story of a tailor shop that gets mixed up with the Chicago gangster scene. You’re also going to learn some things about what it takes to make a good suit, and the moments highlighting that is definitely a unique flavor to this film.
Despite the limited things you could do in one setting, there are very distinct scenes that move things along. The third act should definitely grab your attention.
The clever writing does all the heavy lifting here, so expect some smart dialogue and fast thinking lines.
Some good plot turns and reveals keeps you on your toes.
As expected, fantastic work by Mark Rylance, but kudos also given to Zoey Deutch, Johnny Flynn, Dylan O'Brien, and Simon Russell Beale.
NEGATIVES
As mentioned, the movie is all set in one location like a bottle episode. So it’s like you are watching a stage show.
Considering the setting, it’s limited in what can be done with the visuals. Not necessarily a huge cinematic experience.
I can already imagine people getting bored by the dry pacing.
There will also be those who just wouldn’t care for the sequences about making a suit or the voice over monologues that come with them.
Some unbelievable plot and character moments took me out of the movie.
