Beautiful, Subtle
Valerian has a casual subtlety to it. The message is so subtle that it’s barely noticeable. The film is quite tolerable in this respect. Perhaps it is just being true to its comic roots? In any case, if woke movies in general were handled like this, I doubt we’d need a website such as we’re on warning us off of hazards.
Note to Hollywood: use a scalpel not a chainsaw. I guess.
