Side? You of all people should know there are no sides… Reverend Mother.

Dune is all about intercommunication, words-as-combat, ideas as armies, power over time itself. Dune: Part Two succeeds on all fronts at capturing the beauty and the horror of Frank Herbert’s grand design, plans within plans and harbingers of the greatest tragedy ever known, under the banner of Atreides—the banner of Green Paradise. Alia, Rabban, Feyd, Stilgar, and especially Chani are all modified to sing brilliantly in a screen adaptation, with incredible casting of some of the greatest talents of modern Hollywood. Rebecca Ferguson is a damn revelation, pulling double duty as Jessica and Alia-in-utero and nailing both. Timothée Chalamet is the next great American movie star and this cements it. Long live the fighters, long live cinema.
