Ultrasound (2021)
7/10
Satisfying, original sci-fi thriller for the thinking person
14 March 2022
This film is not for people who prefer generic characters, straightforward plot lines and tidy conclusions. However, there's an intelligent concept at the root of it all and skilled execution for those who like to be kept on their toes with lot's of twists, and creative camera angles and scene transitions. Like some of the characters, the viewer is deliberately kept off balance at the beginning but for good narrative reason. Mixed but mostly excellent performances from the cast. Let's be honest, this film has been made on a low budget: some scenes could have done with another take, the "futuristic" devices are decidedly unfuturistic, and the pacing in the middle gets a little frustrating with too many revelatory scenes all at once towards the end etc. But the ending satisfies and leaves room for the viewer to ponder long after the final credits have run.
