  Great stuff. Lovely costumes, interesting agents, questions of loyalty and truth. This is a whip smart mystery

  I didn’t know much about this period of Spanish history so it was interesting from that. Great performances, very moving

  A Promise 2013

  Not good. Super weird to have it set in Germany, there’s nothing German about it except for Nazi flags which didn’t form part of the story

  The Cost 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Oct 2023

  A good little revenge thriller. Score was great and the forest, gorgeous. Particularly fond of Damon Hunter’s performance. 

  Was lucky enough to see this at a Q&A with the director and producer at Cameo, close to where this was filmed, around Menzies Creek, Croydon Main St, Upwey station. The director’s insights after the film were interesting, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he does next.
