6.6/10

S-Tier

Criterion's July 2024 announcement had people losing it. One of those 80s films where the reputation has quietly shifted from guilty pleasure to legitimate classic, and Criterion putting their name on it sealed that. The standalone 4K disc is the way to go unless you're already deep into Criterion collecting.
