<PERSON>
There are films that require the theater experience and this is one of them. There is such detailed and nuanced work with the sound design that it would be a shame if it wasn’t one of the nominees (but Oscars love loud and bombastic), as this has so many layers of what we do not see.
Just beyond the wall of the <PERSON> home there are levels of atrocity happening that it is hard to fathom that anyone could just go on living their lives. The gun shots. The barking dogs. The yelling. 295
Sound fills the background 24/7, yet these monsters do not care. And that, that is what broke me. That is what made me cry. That there could be such a lack of caring about others because they have been demonized by a tyrant.
I doubt I will ever sit through this again, not because it is bad in any way. Instead, it is powerful in getting that feeling across and showing the split between the two sides, and how evil can lurk so easily in everyday life and might even be living among us. 427
