Some thoughts and notes about the below to come, but before we start here’s the run down of the star valuation

  • ★★★★★ – 5 stars – no notes, absolutely loved it, and would see multiple times again and again
  • ★★★★☆ – 4 stars – very enjoyable, enjoyed a lot, not quite but nearly, would see again
  • ★★★☆☆ – 3 stars – enjoyable, well produced, just a few things missing to elevate it, prob wouldn’t see again
  • ★★☆☆☆ – 2 stars – nothing wrong, it was a way to pass an evening, would not see again
  • ★☆☆☆☆ – 1 star – it was fine I guess, just not my kind of thing – would def not see again
  • ☆☆☆☆☆ – 0 stars – oh god why did I go see this – waste of time and money, could not pay me to see again
