What is it about?
A devout detective's faith is tested as he investigates a brutal murder seemingly connected to an esteemed Utah family's spiral into LDS fundamentalism and their distrust in the government.
My verdict:
Well, to be honest, it didnât really impress me after all. I mean, the story was super interesting and Andrew Garfield, probably one of the most gifted actors of his generation, delivered another strong performance so there was definitely some potential. However, there was no way it required more than 8 hours of running time and it was especially disappointing that, beside Garfield's character, none of the other characters was developed properly. Instead, nothing much happened for some very long stretches of time.2 years, 5 months ago

Notes: I have to admit that I had never heard of the Aran islands before but it definitely didnât seem to be the most welcoming place to live. On the other hand, I already saw a couple of movies directed by Robert J. Flaherty, especially the impressive âNanook of the Northâ. Eventually, the guy was rightfully considered as the precursor of the modern documentaries, even if there was always something fake in pretty much all his movies. For example, in this case, even though the shark hunting was quite spectacular, it was apparently something they havenât done for many years, even decades. However, there was one thing that wasnât fake and it was the sea itself. Indeed, I canât remember the last time I saw such incredible sea footage showing how the sea can be and, apparently, always is raging at these remote Irish islands. Especially at the beginning, you get to see this family of fishermen going back and forth trying to retrieve some net and this scene was just so weird and yet quite mesmerizing at the same time. Itâs too bad the copy I saw on YouTube was pretty weak (on the other hand, I should have maybe lower my expectations since this movie is almost 100 years old). However, even so, the damned thing was still visually quite impressive. 2 years, 5 months ago

“To be honest, I wasnât really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was directed by Laurent Cantet, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it seems that Cantet tried this time to mix âEntre les mursâ with âSwimming Poolâ but even though this mix did have some potential, i” read more
