Audience will decide
Of course, after the picture is out in theatres and additional critics have seen it, the score could swing dramatically in either direction. But one thing is certain: unlike any other MCU picture, the film has divided reviews. Songs My Brothers Taught Me, The Rider, and the Oscar-winning film Nomad Land are among Chloe’s humane stories set against sweeping vistas. She said she wanted to go big scale-wise while maintaining the intimate tone of the story.
