I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
I’m more negative on Bau: Artist at War than the review is. There are some interesting pieces in there, but none of them come together in a way that really grabbed me. The pacing kept sagging just when it needed momentum, which made the whole thing feel longer than it was. So even with a few decent moments, I still came away underwhelmed.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
