Ashes (2015)
A true and tough ambience in this film.
This film allowed for great insight into the characters involved. The bleak and stoic imagery gave the film an edge. Although it started off quite slowly and it took time to connect, the film does grab a hold of the viewer.
I believe the music was quite disjointed at times, and often did not fit well with the feeling the film was building. It felt as if it hit a ceiling towards the end, and there was a lack of progression or development. However, there were some great moments that carried a real punch. The realism and grittiness gave the film an attraction. Many people watching this would be able to relate to the themes tackled.
A particularly strong and thoughtful performance from Rupert Procter, which the other actors worked well off of. Alan Coulson (the director) has managed to capture a very true and tough ambience in this film.
