Great image. Challenging solve. It looks like a really cute movie. Here's the trailer.

At the time I did this puzzle, the rating was 3/1. What the???? I try not to let low raters bother me, but it still does. Oh well. Super puzzle, IMHO.

R55: EL can place blacks in C7-10.
C1: EL marks R1-17 white.
C19-20: R1-4 are white, or it causes a contradiction in C23.

C1: Placing the 11 will also start the 8 in C2, so in R44-51 we can EL the 4 in C1 v. the 2 in C2 and mark these rows white. This opens up marking R37-42 C1 white as well. LL.

C1: Finishing the 4 will also place the 2 in C2, so R37-42, R46-51, and R44-55 C2 are white. LL.

R55: Whether the 9 goes to C4 or C13, R53C5 is black. LL.

R50: Whether the first 4 goes to C7 or C11, R48C11 is black. LL.

R2: EL marks C6-7 and C21-22 white. LL.

R55: EL v. R51 marks C13-16, C23-25, and C30 white.
R54: EL v. R51 marks C13-16, C23-35, and C30 white.
R53: EL v. R51 marks C13-14 and C23-25 white. LL.

C26: IEL marks R47-55 white.

LL to finish.
