Mighty film, and a tear-jerker as well by the looks. Tend to shun movies with sub-titles over here – eyes – screen – and of course the native language component – without the German it’s Mona Lisa in monochrome. 😛
So many things about Get Out were terrific, the music of Michael Abels, the tension, character interplay, the mystery, so 90% here. And yes, it did lack that extra 10% of X-factor – mostly attributable to turns in the plot, thus rendering the high expectations lightly moistened. Recommended!
Right now streaming the complete Love/Hate box set – guns, whack jobs, drugs, hissy fits – what more do you want? The Brit answer to that at the time was the more historical (and hysterical) Peaky Blinders, a whopping six series so plenty on tap, (hopefully not too many of the spinal kind!) 🙂
Edit: On FTA tonight there was Prisoners which ticked all the boxes as a no-nonsense (granular minus the granola) story with heated exchanges in no short supply. Gyllenhaal is together engaging and enigmatic in the role as investigator.
