    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    One of the nicest things about today was finding out that this is a Christmas movie. Nobody told me.

    Glance into the camera only when you have nowhere else you can look to. Somewhat clunkier than I remembered it. But the anonymous black umbrellas at the end of the title sequence; the brief seconds during which natural sounds must register before the music; the self-emptying swing around Passage Pomeraye, in colors and shapes almost intrusive to the rest of the movie, and yet not intrusive enough, compared to how things were in ’61.

All the time lost in between scenes left me feeling uncannily at home, reinstated after the fact; people change each other but it doesn't add up. I don't have in my recent memory any other movie so committed to being of one substance with its lines and lyrics. Always conclusions from recognition, no middle voice premises.
