General summary, I liked this movie.

One thing I quite liked was that the protagonist (Eliza) was mute, and that we got subtitled sign language.

Another was the movie did a good job of having some rather not-good 1960s bigotry woven in somewhat seamlessly (see, for example, that bit at the pie place). This also brings me to Strickland, who was a really good villain: heartless, bigoted, a ... I think "attempted rapist" works... etc. and he doesn't see a problem with any of this because he's superior to that monster and all those other not-quite-human folks (like Eliza or anyone who ain't white).

Shout-out to the fact that the amount of language passed on during the montage where that was an element was reasonable (given how short a time span it happened in).

Getting a happy ending pulled out of all the shooting near the end was nice.

One complaint is that they roughly spelled out what the ending would consist of right at the beginning took a bit of the tension out of the film.

These have been scattered, late-night thoughts.
