★★★★½
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse sends Miles Morales through a multiverse of clashing art styles, a dazzling animated sequel that is also half of a bigger story.
Yes. It is one of the most inventive animated films of the decade, a must for anyone who loved Into the Spider-Verse, as long as you accept it ends mid-story.
