Challenging and very fun! I think 32A was my favorite clue, though there were a lot of good ones. (49A gets an honorable mention for reminding me of Bowfinger and also being advice that I need right now.) I really liked that the difficulty was ramped up through the cluing (like 2D, 45A, 13D, 48D) while keeping the fill clean and not too obscure, while still varied (I disagree with the NYT feedback, though it’s not like I’ve ever been published). Also learned some things (like 29D). The only entry I still don’t understand is 11D.
Thanks for the kind words and feedback, it really means a lot! 11D was just kind of an unfortunate entry -- the clue isn't a pun or anything, it literally just means the state or condition of being foreign.
I agree with Sendhil - great cluing. My favorite is 16 Across. Strange reason from the NYT - I often find their Fri's and Sat's predictable and dull; this puzzle is neither.
