all in one

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2016)

A work with every aspect so specifically planned that it all seems so smooth and flowing. The editing during the fight scenes are like no other, the long camera shots of domestic life are quaint yet tense, the performances both comical and incredible. A film such as this is the perfect combination of collaborative effort between director, editor, actors, and writers. The mounting dramas are countered with the simplicity of charming dialogue. The strong performances are countered with the throbbing music and dancing edits. One feels both anger and sympathy, along a path to redemptive glory, as we follow and submit to images and a touching story of a man fighting for relevance and dignity.
