Very tense and captivating with an incredibly unsatisfying ending. Also...I couldn't get past Holt and Colette and their history in about a boy, but that's on me. Genuinely good movie and exploration of what justice really means, great supporting cast, if a little underutilised, but as I say...double flusher of an ending.

I was sincerely affected by parts of this film and it's reflections of my own relationships both with previously close relatives and those who have tried to leave this world behind. A tight near-90 minutes is all that's needed to tell such a tight and well crafter story. Incredible piece of cinema.

Wicked 2024
I was ready for this to have no chance of matching it's hype but I'm thrilled to say I was delighted. I bought into the well worn (for me) story and those performing it so easily and really fell into the world built up on screen. My only issue with it is waiting a year for what I could wait 20 minutes for in a theatre. A full year between parts makes no sense. This was not a perfect film, but it was everything it could have been and I loved it.
