Outstanding film experience

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2007)

Many people have commented on the brave, innovative, inventive, difficult, fresh and downright ballsy style in which Alfonso Cuaron has shot this movie. The cinematography, choreography and editing come together to achieve a once-in-a-lifetime film experience, a truly immersive film where you really care about the characters because you see the world through their perspective.
The emotional crescendo of some of the action sequences also adds to the overall involvement from the spectator. This feels like an important movie because of the techniques used, but also because of the subject matter.
Perhaps one of the most under-rated movies of the year.
