Draws you in - in all kinds of subtle ways
23 March 2023
This film is made with such emotional intelligence and cinematic sensibility, it deserves all the praise it can get. It's not often you find films by American directors that are this daring when it comes to trusting the audience to piece together what's going on in the minds and hearts of the characters. And also what's going on plot-wise. I love the way Colman's character surprises herself with her own actions. It's a thrill to watch her stumble her way through encounters with other people and it's heartbreaking to find out what she's actually grappling with, which we learn more about as the story moves along. There's so much going on in this little gem of a film. If you can't see that - it wasn't for you, anyway.
