Despite juggling a few too many characters and Marvel callbacks, this is ultimately—if not spectacularly—still an exhilarating web-slinging adventure.
Director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s latest offering could hardly feel less Hollywood in either spirit or execution.

The standouts here are its neon-lit fights, digital worlds, and the moody score by Nine Inch Nails.
This film overwhelms with its unexpected poignance, its truthfulness, and the imagination it uses to examine its teenage characters.
Still delightfully unnerving, M3GAN hasn’t lost her edge—and she’s even gained some extra wit.
