The cinematography left me in awe, I felt it mirrors perfectly the architectural characteristics of brutalism: cold, structured and big. Yet, although the movie was quite lengthy, it did not feel long and given its storyline, symbolisms and cinematography, it had a calming effect on me. Additionally, I loved Brody’s performance.
The symbolisms are plenty. For instance we can assume Harrison has unalived himself when he disappears and the last image they show us is the cross of light projected…
“The only thing predictable about life is its unpredictability.“
One of my comfort movies. Never getting tired of its cinematography, storyline, characters AND the music. 5/5!
Perfect watch for a rainy and cozy day like today.
Wow.
Heretic kept me hooked into my seat the whole time. Loved how they play with religion and faith which even makes you doubt yourself if what’s happening in the movie is supernatural or just pure control.
However, I must say the first 60% of the movie is what made me give it 4 stars; the psychological games and the uncertainty. But the end has been a bit of a let down imo.
I was quite excited and intrigued by the premise of this movie. The overall concept had a lot of potential. However, the execution was not ideal along with its special effects and cinematography.
3/5
