Unfolds intriguing concepts and a richly imagined world far more creatively than its predecessor—at times reaching back into the first film to resolve some of its nonsense. Scott often seems to believe that long, silent takes are contemplative and artistic; Villeneuve shows that they can be, when correctly set up with actual meaning and subtext. Blade Runner 2049 is a master work of subtext and subtlety, observing human connections and experiences with expert attention to detail. It’s also visually and sonically magnificent, and conveys heart-racing action and heart-breaking tenderness with equal skill—in short, a Denis Villeneuve film.
