The Cost (2022)
8/10
A good introduction to the director
9 November 2023
My first experience with a film from Matthew Holmes, though I've heard good things about The Legend of Ben Hall.

The one thing I liked a lot about this film is that it left us debating. I saw this with a bunch of friends, and the way the story plays out and ends in a somewhat open way caused some fun discussion between us.

Though I can understand complaints about a predictable story, I don't think that necessarily takes away from the film. The story is still told in an engaging and gripping way and the cast delivered strong performances.

I really liked how Aussie Clayton Watson was in the role as the farmer Brian, and the tension in the campfire scene was one of the better moments of the film.

I'd definitely be keen to check more out from Matthew Holmes.
