A significant improvement of an already wonderful film. Highly recommended!
I love the Theatrical Cut, despite its flaws, but this edit is far superior. The trims, though mostly unnoticeable, greatly improve the pacing and get rid of weaker elements in the plot. Gone are cheesy moments and some tropes, such as the dead mother that does not contribute anything to the plot.
There were two trims I found slightly jarring - at 1:10:19 and at the very end. Upon further inspection, the first was a bit jarring even in the TC, and the other was because of good reasons (moving the epilogue to a more reasonable time slot).
Bottom line - this edit is beautifully edited, and my new go-to version of the film.
