A Really Good Movie

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2020)

When I first heard that this movie was going to be following the one-shot technique, I was hesitant to watch it. There is a reason why cuts are made. So that the eyes don't get stuck on one scene for too long and the viewer loses interest.
But while watching the movie, the way Mendes and his cinematographer cleverly use their sets and surroundings to change the scene and the location of the camera without having to cut... For that type of coordination and control, a lot of effort went into set building and scene planning with cast and crew.
Basically, the cinematography was brilliant.
That, and a really good cast of talented actors with incredible music from Thomas Newman...
Of course the movie won best picture drama at the golden globes.
Do yourself a favor and watch it.
