Athena

This might be the most beautiful movie that I have seen in a long time. Every shot feels vibrant and action packed. You feel like one of the rioters, you feel like one of the police. The plot is also a powerful one, and reminiscent of Les Miserables (also by this director – not the musical adaptation). I shall not spoil it for you, but the ending, even if a little expected, turns the entire movie on its head, making for a fantastic message. The only issue I had with this film was some of the character development in the third act. It makes sense, but also felt a little ham-fisted and sudden. Despite this, I would still highly recommend this movie to another who would want to watch it.
