The Zone of Interest

a review by r96sk

Not particularly my type of movie, with it being more 'artsy' than anything else, but I can still acknowledge it as being good.

It's miles better, even for someone like me with the aforementioned, than it probably has any right to be. It does, in my eyes, start off too slowly, though the longer it went on the more I could appreciate it - particularly from a filmmaking perspective. As you would expect with the subject matter, 'The Zone of Interest' makes for uncomfortable but important viewing.

Sandra Hüller has relatively little to work with, though still manages to put in a standout showing. I remember seeing her about during the award season when this movie was released, based on this I am expecting an even better performance in 'Anatomy of a Fall' - gotta get that watched soon!
