Obviously not a perfect movie but I usually rate movies based off of how entertaining they are and this is one of the best in those regards.

The great small characters are the icing on the cake, a great cast that voices all these sea creatures with Willem Dafoe probably my favorite in his small role.

The atmosphere created in the film gave the film a setup for a lot of tension in the second half of the film.

Despite what they've gone through Moonee and Halley have a great mother daughter bond as evidenced by those ending scenes.

Obviously with the writing and screenplay being a major force it wasn't necessarily imperative to have completely stellar performances for the film to work, but it's strong performances are what in my opinion is able to take the film to the next level.

So many skyline scenes with beautiful colors, and the backgrounds and settings used in the film were just simply stunning.

In getting back to iconic scenes, that prison break scene is my favorite scene of all time.

Every scene he is in is memorable and there may be no scene more powerful this decade than his Lions Club scene shouting there is a storm coming.

He's a bit like Hannibal Lecter in the sense that he doesn't have a monstrous amount of screen time, but he packs a punch and makes every scene that he is in the best parts of the film.

The encounter between Miles and Jack on their walk back to the hotel is one of my best scene nominations as well.
