Justine (2020)
Justine
12 March 2021 - 4 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
Justine was a tender and intimate portrait of the impact of self-destructive behaviour on a fledgling relationship. The restrained, naturalistic approach kept the focus on the interior lives of the characters, and Sophie Reid was pitch-perfect as the caring girlfriend attempting to mitigate Justine's resignation. Locations had been thoughtfully chosen to build Justine's experience of the world - ranging from the depressingly banal, to the clinically institutional, and the alienatingly comfortable, while the lighting made her world look cold and quotidian. This is a film with something to say, and it says it simply, quietly and affectingly.
