Review of Puritan

Puritan (2005)
10/10
A special film.
31 August 2006
If you are lucky enough to find this movie go and watch it.

I viewed it at frightfest and I think the director said it was coming out in November in the q&a after the film was shown.

It is classic film making, adult emotions handled in a truly adult way. It recreates the film noirs of the 30's and 40's which I am a huge fan of, but the subject matter is treated with sensitivity and intelligence.

The actors say the lines in a relaxed and simple way, lulling you into the plot, which washes over you gently and then has you completely in its thrall by the end of the third act.

Its such a pleasure to see a film made this way again, made in way that its not shouting and screaming to grab your attention, but it simply holds you riveted with its finesse.
