Ben Mendelsohn draws us in...

Rating: 8/10 (1 November 2019)

Mendelsohn draws us in so subtly. The context of that lost father and son relationship is fleshed out perfectly in a form we have been telling each other since language was a skill for us.. The hook is set.
Familiar but satisfying ground perfectly played. The familiar is made new! ChaIamet, with his outright hostility to his father in his deathbed shows us the second side of this broken relationship. It renders depth and provides doubt.
I gained new respect for Robert Pattinson as he shows movie goers that small roles can be memorable. His portrayal of the French Prince was a revelation to me. It's the first time I've seen him become a character. He rendered his French Accent like a fish breathes water.

Joel Edgerton revealed a perfect English Accent and was a huge part of every scene he was in, whether or not he spoke. Not many can pull that off.
I might seem a bit too focused on the accents but they matter. After seeing Brad Pitt and slew of other A List actors mangle British accents, I like them well done.
A movie that will surprise many.
