Whether you're male, female, or trans, this movie grabs you by the balls and won't let go for 123 minutes. It's an incredible anti-nuke, anti-war statement, and Palme D'Or winner for all the right reasons. A super script, done without maudlin, and done so well technically and artistically that absolutely nothing pulls you out of the head space.
