Review of Still

Still (II) (2014)
8/10
Harrowing modern noir!
11 January 2019
Sobering tale of inner city anarchy set amidst the mean streets of modern day London. Tom is the Everyman faced with horrific choices and propelled forward by a family tragedy. Superb lighting and crisp dialogue illuminate this modern day fable of a good man reaching and becoming aware of his limitations. The dystopian depiction of London is an effective narrative device, the acting solid and capable and a mood of menace is maintained throughout. The director Simon Blake shows himself to be a capable auteur and it will be interesting to see how his muse evolves.
