I had fairly high hopes for this one, but ultimately I found it underwhelming. It has some good moments and a great concept but it's very slow and very long and has a lot of narrative threads that begin but never quite wrap up and most of its emotional moments aren't as well earned as I wanted them to be. Just... kind of disappointing. Maybe I needed to care more about Logan as a character to begin with to get out of this what other people did.
How it entered my Flickchart:
Logan > Gifted
Logan < Quartet
Logan < Lo
Logan < Ramona and Beezus
Logan > The Avengers
Logan > Silent Hill
Logan > The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)
Logan < The Revenant

Final spot: #1212 out of 2742.
