A British film censor links a disturbing horror movie to her sister’s mysterious disappearance.
While the movie could’ve been a little deeper, Censor is nevertheless still a solid debut from Bailey-Bond.
The plot is predictable but Rowland’s keen direction and Murtagh’s poignant script raises The Shadow of Violence well above your average crime drama.
Filmed with such a raw, visceral style and nothing less than totally compelling, The Virtues is some of Shane Meadows’ best work.
“Sure, I’ll see you again before either of us knows it”. It’s a sentiment resonating with most of us after the passing of a loved one. This line opens the beautiful, bleak, January Hymn, written and directed by Katherine Canty.
