Review of Still

Great movie - beautifully shot and very well cast and acted. I loved that it's mostly set in King's Cross and I loved the colour palate - the colours reflect the conflicts - dark and menacing at times. Orange night skies - do you see that outside of London? It felt very real. You feel caught up in the story from the very beginning, you want everything to work out for the best but you fear the worst. It's a well told story, you don't like everything about the characters or what happens to them and how they react to certain situations but you can't look away - you find yourself rooting for a happy ending - you care about what happens. It's a difficult film to watch in parts but it's well worth it - my friends and I were talking about various aspects of the movie days later. If it weren't for the redemptive ending - an epiphany that leads to reconnection with compassion and humanity, it would be a hard film to handle. Very powerful. I want to watch it again. Cx
