Pity is a deftly made film about a man bossed with being pitied, and while it’s clearly inspired by Yorgos Lanthimos, the precise and sardonic visual storytelling makes for a twistedly entertaining time. Sadly the film insists upon some greater message for its runtime, making the rather obvious ending all the more disappointing, but as in exercise in style and tragic comedy, the film excels.

Wonderfully dark. Tragedy and comedy has a thin line dividing them and this film knows it. The simple presentation allows the dark humor this film has to shine through, with the slow build up that clues you in on how twisted the main character is, with the best final ten minutes that only a film like this could have.
