This is my first Criterion 4K Blu-Ray outside of Wall-E. Should the grain be this overpowering? Is that expected? It almost appears like noise considering how heavy it feels. Should I expect this from all 4K Blu Rays that aren't from Digital sources?

I haven't watched this particular release but I don't think you're ever going to see more grain than should be there. More often, some take efforts to remove it. Different films have different levels of graininess. It's an intrinsic part of the image and I for one think it's beautiful

It's a grainy film. I saw it in 35mm in theaters a couple of times. i don't know if the grain was intentionally boosted during post-production or if it's just an artifact of the lighting conditions and film stocks, but the 4K looks how I remember it from those theatrical screenings.
