“Novice French producer and writer Jérémie Guez makes his full length feature film directorial debut in this stunning character study turned crime thriller noir.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is insanely watchable, mostly due to the overall soundness of its stunning cinematography and visual compositions, and the stellar performances notably from Roland Møller and Lola Le Lann. The great performances and old school tension are the key ingredients here, and they come together very intimately and surprisingly in this touching film about a man wrestling with his own fate, that morphs from a character study into crime film as the action grows more taut.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlthough Iu0026#39;m not a fan of slow-burn films, this one is an exception. The 85 min runtime was perfect, and the constant tension and directors camera shots kept the suspense running non stop. Even the score was perfect and evident at the right moments.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor a non-Hollywood foreign-produced film, this is outstanding, and I hope itu0026#39;s nominated for multiple awards, deservingly so. Itu0026#39;s a well deserved 9/10 from me, and I look forward to seeing more from Jérémie Guez.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo see more of my 1000+ ratings and 600+ reviews, click on my username.”
