Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2019)

This is a masterclass in subtlety and understatement, lovingly crafted by a director firmly within his comfort zone, employing skills and experience honed over more than four decades.
The cast is the best ensemble I've seen since Glengarry Glen Ross, with each egoless performance allowing the other(s) to breath, with the pauses, discomforts, body language and what is implied but not said allowing the story to majestically unfold.
It's not often that one knows that one is watching a classic upon first viewing, but in this case a profound sense of this is instilled literally within the first ten minutes
