Thank you, Martin, for the recommendation! I seldom go to a movie theatre to see a film. I have learned that the real start time of the movie is about 30 minutes after the posted start time - 30 minutes of bombastic advertising and previews of things I never want to see.
I have to admit that I've been passing over this one because I just assumed, given the subject matter and marketing, that its rating in Pascals had to be very high. Pascals not as in the SI unit of stress named after Blaise, but Pascals as in the Wokeness unit named after Pedro.
I truly wish someone would start reviewing films, novels, anything in the arts etc and incorporating this parameter. Whether you agree with the politics or not, a high value of PPa means you can figure out key plot points in advance. E.g, my wife and I were watching Task when I suddenly told her I knew who the traitor was. She said "Who?" and I replied "Which white guy has not behaved badly -- yet?". And... (mild spoiler)... Bingo! I gave up on Last of Us cold turkey after the notorious "wine pairing" scene, and don't get me started on Broadchurch, yikes.
Now the missus and I both like Olivia Colman, but I'm getting uh-oh vibes from Night Manager. If I knew its rating it would save me the trouble. Anyone care to enlighten me, please?
