Our take
Lana & Lilly Wachowski team up with Tom Tywker (Run Lola Run) for this fascinating big-budget adaptation of David Mitchell’s bestselling novel, situating its large ensemble cast—including Tom Hanks!—across many plots, genres, settings, and time periods. A divisive, yet undoubtedly ambitious epic.
