Isn't the technical leap forward that its predecessor was, which is to be expected after three years instead of thirteen. But what it lacks in novelty, it more than makes up for with refinement on every level.

r/Letterboxd, on where the three hours go wrongReddit

The two reviews we used are 53 points apart and neither says where the film turns. This room does, and it agrees with itself: a strong first hour, a messy second, a third that repeats the previous two films. It is also honest about the trade, which is that the spectacle keeps buying the picture back. The clearest account of this film's shape that we have read anywhere, including in the reviews.
