10/10
Finally...something interesting for summertime viewing

Welcome a challenge? This is it. Leave it to Soderbergh to upset the fantasty (and fantastical) offerings by the major studios. Like a good book you just can't put down, the complications the plotting offers I found thrilling. I had zero expections and only began watching this due to the star laden cast and it's director. The complexity of the story is a delight and offered with a wry humor. The cast (which couldn't have possibly known where all this was headed) keeps you so involved, I just surrendered and jumped in to go along for a very rewarding ride. I won't say it's to everyone's taste, particularly if you need things laid out for you in a familiar way. Once the opening credits pass, there's a steep dive into an unfamiliar world where magic (of all things) unknowingly rules half the characters, and the weight of karama pushes the other half to a crime in Washington Square that is witnessed by both sets of the families involved and no one but the viewer knows nothing is as it seems. Once law enforcement gets its hands on what's happened (they were also unknowing witnesses) the reveals hidden from us keep coming, making us as foolish looking as the characters. I found this smashing entertainment.
