Sky

I'm a bit conflicted about this film. We get thrown into a story in medius res, which normally doesn't bother me, but much of it was in French without subtitles. I speak enough French to understand some of it, but not all of it, which left me wondering why these things were happening. The movie takes a sudden transition half way through and becomes a largely different film. I liked the second part of the film much better, and I really wish the whole film had been that story. The acting was very solid and I love the angles of the direction. This end strong, but the weak opening earned a demotion in rating. 3.5/5

The apocalypse. Two men. One bunker. Very little air. That's all I can tell you about this fantastic thriller without ruining this plot, but hopefully it's enough to peak your interest. The plot is a simple story well told, something I love to find. The set and direction are sparse, almost naked. There wasn't much of a budget for this, but it didn't need one, and it works all the same. There are a few moments of character development I found odd, and I'm not sure about the last few minutes of the film, but it certainly left an impact on me. Recommended. 4/5
