The Secret Life of Walter Mitty ⭐️⭐️⭐️

There is something to be said for giving up depth for rhythm. This is a gentle film with fine and nuanced acting. If it hits some notes a little too often and maybe a little too well, like the projections of fantasy into reality, it exceeds them with movements of gorgous scenery, wonderful characters, and the lesson that living in the real moment won’t bring your fantasies to life but can reward you with stories and experiences that are better. And isn’t it just like fantasies to be monotonously repeated notes of frustrated passions, while real life is cinematic in ways you don’t expect but that feel right?  🎬
