In Bruges

An hilarious black comedy combined with a masterfully written drama. The character development of Ray is very well written and evolves slowly but surely. The whole cast is great, their characters are great, and the dialogue is weird and therefor even more hilarious. I really enjoy how Bruges is used in the movie as not just a location but as a metaphor for purgatory. It somehow really feels like the characters have left earth and are in this fairytale land before heaven or hell. For me Martin McDonagh delivers once again with the type of movie that I love, the movie that just unfolds as it goes on, and in the end somehow culminates into a very satisfying ending. With this movie he has probably cemented himself as one of my favourite directors.
