VIBE

This film feels like a sweeping, opulent journey through a singular, troubled mind. It's a grand, visually stunning spectacle that captures the intoxicating highs of ambition and the isolating lows of mental decline. The experience is both exhilarating and profoundly melancholic, a portrait of genius battling its own demons.
