Monkey Man
HOLY SHIT
Ik I’m a bit late to the party with this one but this might be my favourite movie of the year
The fact that this was a debut that went through production hell in order to come out makes the fact that it’s so highly praised so inspiring - and that praise is 100% deserved there’s so much passion and confidence that went into everything from the story to the editing to the music to the lighting to the FUCKING CAMERAWORK I am obsessed with the way this is shot you have no idea - really captures the protagonist’s rage and also really exacerbates the energy and brutality of the action once it kicks off, absolutely fucking visceral in the best way
I knew this was gonna be epic as soon as I saw the first trailer but holy shit Dev Patel I would kill and die for you <3
