So, I have no idea what any of my colleagues thought of
Rogue One. I went to the premiere Saturday night, wrote my review that evening and have stayed off social media ever since. Well, now that the embargo has lifted, I can say: I enjoyed this movie immensely, and I think it's the best
Star Wars film since
The Empire Strikes Back. This is a surprisingly thoughtful and emotional war movie. My review is up at
Screen International.
