Really loved how subversive this was. The final confrontation/​dinner sequence was, for me, totally electrifying. I’ve spent the past few months constantly saying ​“why can’t these people talk it out? Why do they immediately resort to violence?” basically every time I watch a movie. But this movie just gets it.
That being said, this is also another movie infected by the recent ​“natural lighting /​underexposed” trend, as well as the ​“we didn’t bother with a tripod” trend, and also the ​“we decided to add title cards for each act” trend. I am viscerally bothered by these three things and think they each immediately date the film and distract us while watching. Do not like.
A note to aspiring filmmakers: handheld, shaky footage means something. It does not mean what you think it means. Use it sparingly. It is an effect. Not a budget shortcut.
