Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions between 'masterpiece' and 'old-fashioned mess'. You'll either adore its complex, classic charm or find it too dated; there's no middle ground here.
Prepare for a proper debate with this one. Goldfield & Banks promised a tale of amber, but delivered a surprisingly divisive, iris-heavy narrative that's left many scratching their heads and a few absolutely captivated. It's either a masterful, nuanced take on amber or a total let-down, depending on who you ask.
