Agon Baby Agon

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2015)

One of the best dramas I've seen in all the areas usually considered: fine acting and directing, good cinematography, great costumes, great casting - but all excellent without being obtrusive. The film as a whole is crafted beautifully to bring the viewer to the brink of a full-on argument between their own emotional will to see the best deed be done and their rationing mind's desire to be just and to do right.
I found the film surprisingly emotional, marvellously understated and raw and challenging morally. If drama has a purpose, this film takes us to the core of where the best drama has always come from, throwing a mirror to our souls and leaving us wondering who, in such a situation, would we have been, and indeed, do we really know ourselves?
