Dialog: A
Pacing: Slow in a way that would have been great if there was a story. C
Cinematography: A
Special effects/design: A
Acting: B
Music: A
Enjoyment: Lots of style. Almost no story or character development. It's memorable, and rewarding, and the sort of movie that's far more enjoyable to think about than it is to watch. My wife described it as "a warm blanket." I'm not so sure about the "warm" part, but it is something you can be enveloped in. B
