I really enjoyed this film too- and I think, for me, this was mostly down to discovering Saoirse Ronan- there's something incredibly captivating about her as a performer, and this was quite a tricky character to get right- and I felt she captured it brilliantly.
The only thing I don't agree with you in is the soundtrack. I was also wowed by in in its own right, but I found that it overwhelmed the film in several places, rather than enhancing it.
Fantastic review, really enjoyed reading it!

I usually don't want to notice a soundtrack. But sometimes I like it when I do. Particularly in films like Ready Player One or Guardians where the soundtrack is such an embedded part of the story. Thanks for stopping by.
