Only thing preventing me from giving this the full 5 ⭐️ is that I found Geryon’s childhood and adolescence so much more captivating and stunningly portrayed than his early adulthood. There was breathless beguiling momentum up to a point, and then (perhaps like life? Too real?) it felt somewhat stilted for a stretch before the inevitable coda. 

But quite silly to fixate on the minuscule critique precluding from subjective perfection. This was absolutely incredible on both formal and emotional levels.
