Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Andrew C — 19 Dec 2017

*minor spoilers* It's a tad too long. The scene with the newborn replicant is unnecessary and cruel. The entire Deckard/Rachel scene should have been cut. That said, 2049 is nothing short of a modern classic.

Beautifully shot, written, directed; acted, scored, edited.. the list goes on. Gosling gives the most impressively subtle yet intense performance, and both Hoeks & Armas are perfectly cast. For me, 2049 stands with SW:TFA and Batman:TDK as one of the greatest movies yet of this century.
