POSITIVES…
Fascinating movie that purposefully keeps you guessing about it’s plot progression.
Perfectly disorienting narrative, that thematically fits very well with the story.
Anthony Hopkins is absolutely amazing in this, and might arguably be his best work yet.
Olivia Colman is truly fantastic in this, and easily takes on those highly emotional moments.
Supporting cast is great as well, from Rufus Sewell, Mark Gatiss, Imogen Poots, and Olivia Williams.
Dramatically profound and a stark reminder or warning about getting old.
Just heartbreaking. Especially that final act.
There are some nice visual directing touches to accommodate the fact this movie is set in one location.
NEGATIVES…
Starts off a little bit slow, and doesn’t really kick into gear until about 20 minutes in.
Very much a talking heads kinda film with mostly just dialogue to listen to, which may not be engaging for some movie goers.
