A journey like no other.

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2020)

I think the best way to describe this movie is to say that it feels like an incredible journey.
The plot is absolutely one that warrants the decision to film it as if it was one shot. I know it wasn't the first film to do this, but I feel it had a more profound effect on the overall feel of this movie than this style did for others like it. It forces you to feel the weight of each passing minute, and evokes a sense of urgency like I've never experienced before.
I highly recommend doing some research after watching the movie about how they designed the sets. The choice to film the movie as one shot meant they had to be extremely precise with the speed and distance the actors needed to travel during each scene to make sure the pacing of the movie made sense.
I think it's fascinating how factors such as weather, lighting, and set design needed to be just right to achieve the final look they wanted. I appreciate the consideration of these minute details, as I can tell how crucial each element was in tying everything together into the masterpiece that it is. It's hard to think of a reason anyone could dislike this film - it's truly an incredible watch!
