Best yet.

The futility of war.

Black and white and so colourful.

Very powerful and an enigmatic ending.

Never has lying been so compelling yet so compassionate.

I enjoyed it but don’t think I understood it all.

Absolutely brilliant and so moving.

What a complex web we weave when we practise to deceive.
