The film's direction and performances are really strong. I was impressed by every performance and individual character and the overall plot was tight. A dark film-noir-ish movie centered around a 1930s carnival has a strong premise and initial material it's based on (book and film). It's overall dark and leaves a strong impression.
I thought Bradley Cooper at times reminded me of a Humphrey Bogart character, Cate Blanchett was phenomenal and powerful, and Rooney Mara was also strong, self-sufficient, and alluring at the same time. Beautiful progression leading to a strong pay-off and resolution.
