Enjoyment: I expected to love this movie. It's a good movie - beautiful to look at, and intelligent - but I definitely did not love it. I was promised a meditation on the nature of consciousness. There is a lot of that, but it's equally as much about the untouchable power of the super-rich, which is not such a fun subject. B

GPA: 3.3/4
