No wonder forest got an Oscar, brilliant performance

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2017)

Forest steals the show. Compelling performance, utterly believable.
McAvoy is typically weak when in the company of better actors and this film was no different as he came across as immature and a bit of a ham. Also, Anderson's role was a bit confusing, not sure what she was doing in the film. typically she is quite a strong actor but her character was so limited she did not get a chance to shine.
McBurney was also very good along with Washington. Both embraced their characters perfectly and it was good the later part of the movie featured more of them to offset McAvoy.
The story was great and the cinematography outstanding. Pace was spot on as was the sense of imminent menace.
If you have the opportunity to watch this on a home cinema projector sized screen, you will be thoroughly rewarded.
Visually stunning film with sense of peril supported by outstanding acting, except for McAvoy. Robert Carlyle would have been better choice.
