Beautifully Shot

Rating: 8/10 (8 December 2015)

The first thing that struck me about Bridge of Spies was just how beautiful it was. The film is gorgeously shot, every frame seems like a painting. But the film's visuals are not the only good thing you can say about it. It is a solid, well acted drama with an engaging story that won't leave fans of the genre disappointed.
Overall I have nothing but good things to say about it and I would highly recommend it. There are however some minor nitpicks. The film strikes one as very good but it never rises to excellent when you get the feeling that it could have. The film is done by professionals who know their craft and thus the film is well polished but lacks that special spark, a deeper substance in the story that would make you love it instead of merely liking it, however much.
Of course all of that could be merely a question of preference and for some this movie would be satisfying enough. Again, I have nothing bad to say against Bridge of Spies. I thoroughly enjoyed and have already included it in my list of top movies of 2015.
