Director Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Far From Home furiously swings for and clears the MCU fences as a rousing treatise on truth and lies in which star Tom Holland’s teenaged hero struggles with love, identity and duty while battling elemental evils during a class trip across Europe. Watts weaves into the story numerous references (not even thinly veiled) to public trust and deception and the power one wields with plausible deceit. An impressive set piece three-quarters of the way through the film depicts a green and naive Spider-Man being confronted and confounded by multiple holographic "realities," playing his nature against him time after time. It's not only a beautifuly crafted passage but the message resonates like the tolling of a bell.
