• Critics broadly hail Day-Lewis’s performance yet question the monologue-heavy script and pacing in Ronan Day-Lewis’s feature debut.
• Coverage highlights strong craft elements, including Ben Fordesman’s cinematography and Bobby Krlic’s score, even as opinions on the storytelling remain cool.
• Online chatter focuses on nepotism claims, minor continuity nitpicks, and early awards speculation centered on Day-Lewis’s turn.
• Forbes reports the film is expected to hit PVOD roughly 18–30 days after release and to stream on Peacock six to eight weeks later, based on Focus Features’ recent patterns.
