I love how it took its time to walk the loop again and again and let the atmosphere settle in without trying to rush through Syd's trauma (and I wish the Xmen adaptations so far had approached Rogue with a fraction of the cleverness they use for Syd's variation on the same issues.)<br /><br />And then Lily Rabe cast as Syd's mother was just so perfect.jencathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06760127090293409589noreply@blogger.com
