8/10
Excellent drama
12 April 2024
This movie, about upper-class Tony who hires servant Hugo Barrett, is a great psychological drama movie!

I had a wonderful time! Despite that the movie slightly drags a few times, it really has the whole package. The story is excellent, the acting is good, the cinematography is amazing, the editing is on point, and the pace is mostly appropriate. The movie also has such attention to detail and forces you to pay attention from start to finish with its discrete intensity, and while that I a few times was not sure how to interpret some scenes, they actually made my experience even better. It is genius in some aspects.

Despite pacing stumbles, this movie excels. Story, acting, visuals - all grip you. Ambiguity adds depth, making it a lasting cinematic experience.
