      Honey, have you not seen the amount of content they've poured out over the past couple of weeks to build anticipation? I'd love a commentary track as well, but there's more supplemental/behind-the-scenes online than even a Criterion Collection release could boast.

    Everything about this film is great at capturing the magic of theatre and bringing it to the screen.

Stunning 💚🩷
