[*****] **** [Masterpiece] Excellent
Entertaining throughout and among the best of its genre/type. A film that is worthy of multiple views and I would certainly recommend you see. It won't disappoint, but shows some obvious shortcomings or is missing the artistic resonance that would make it an essential viewing. In consideration for the 10 best films of its year and/or near the top of its genre, but for one reason or another doesn't match up to the top tier of films.
