Victoria Reviews
One
of the most exhausting movies I've ever seen. When the credits rolled I
felt empty and fulfilled at once. What a rush. The style of film and
the lifelike interactions of the characters made for an intriguing watch
that really felt intimate. The violent and hectic latter half of the
movie often literally had me on the edge of my seat, a rare thing as
normally I happily comply to the comfortable seats in the cinema. I
wasn't entirely happy with this escalation of the story, as it felt a
bit forced, to make sure we would receive our dose of dramatic violence.
It also postulated some questionable choices the characters made after
the plausible start of the movie, where the whole situation still feels
natural.
That was me as a movie critic, because I can't say this
critique bothered me much when I saw the movie. The acting and
camera-work made for such a compelling watch that I readily accepted the
more or less predictable violent turn of events. This is an exciting
and intimate movie that I will recommend to everybody, even to those
that I not expect to be immediately interested in this kind of movie.
It's that good.
