Zugzwang

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2020)

I never watch trailers and go into movies with knowing as little as possible.
This movie stunned me.
I could applaud the acting, the pacing, the realistic violence or the story as a whole, but what kept me at the edge of my seat was the human nature of the characters. They all clearly have underlying motives for what they're doing and subsequently are all constantly put in fierce Zugzwang.
Everything in this movies makes sense. People simply do what they have to do and constantly try to shape their own luck. They are no idiots, they just keep finding them in impossible situations and try to make the best out of it.
This movies is excellent in what it's trying to do and I can highly recommend it.
