Brutal in the right ways. If Sayra’s third act twist felt more organically motivated and less like a plot mechanic (and even partially explained away via a psychic?? Cmon) this could be higher. That decision though felt so undercutting in a movie that otherwise had so many trappings that made it feel real.
Still it’s brutal and beautiful in all the best ways. Not sure Fukunaga will ever touch the electricity of That One Scene in True Detective but ever manage it once. Still the camera is dynamic and informative and evocative.
