This was good enough for me to not feel right giving it a rating of ‘wishy washy’, but I do think it wasn’t as good as the hype: themes weren’t anything particularly outstanding, or dealt with in any particularly outstanding way. That said, of course it’s worth consuming for the simple fact that it’s something different. I think perhaps its “ground-breaking”ness was more about managing to attract mainstream attention as much as it did, than anything else - something that says at least as much about contemporaneous audiences as about the flick itself—but that’s no less interesting a reason in light of which to watch it.
