    Really liked the premise, but it somehow fell flat for me. Class critique done better in Snowpiercer, trans-species alliances more moving in Okja, wasn‘t so blown away by the insights into colonialism, even if I appreciate the efforts. Robert Pattinson carried!

    Thrill and scale, edge-of-the-seat-type cinema! Knows just when to contain itself, and when to reach beyond. Justice for 2nd AD‘s!

    Dissolves the body and materializes the spirit. Tackles the depiction of violence and subjectivity with deep commitment and care. Turns the viewer into the ultimate witness and addresses the complicity in looking away — led and trapped by the protagonists gaze. The rich tapestry of details, the sprawling and yet concise dramaturgy. An act of testimony. A Zone of Interest sibling. 

    The way this eventually redefines the classic shot and counter shot, incorporates photography… When Arthur Jafa said that Black people need to make the medium of film their own the way they do with music, he couldn‘t have known this was coming.
