So beautiful. One of the most beautiful reviews I have read in recent months. I have so many things to say.

Again, you're very kind. I don't think "The Pale Blue Eye" was received thoughtfully enough by critics. It's among my favorites of the last couple of years.

If I can I always read the book before I watch the movie. I wonder if it amplifies the experience.

I find it always does help to read the book first, not that I'm always able to. Whether the movie is great, atrocious, or somewhere in between, having the book in mind makes me better able to judge what the moviemakers were attempting.
