uncompromisingNot for everyoneThis is the movie that director Duncan Jones has always wanted to make
A story that he first conceived before making his debut movie Moon, it took three Hollywood movies and the freedom of a Netflix deal before
he could make his labor of love
The result is a rather muted (pun intended), strange movie that never goes where you expect it to

Ho | Stars: Tilda Swinton, Paul Dano, Seo-Hyun Ahn | Rating: 15/TV-MA | Runtime: 120 minSuperb directionHighly original storyMessage too
heavy handedOnly hints of sci-fiBong Joon Ho is one of the best directors around at the moment so when it was announced he was doing a

minGreat mix of sci-fi and actionNoomi Rapace is greatToo high concept for someThe story is too convolutedNoomi Rapace plays seven sisters
in this high-concept, convoluted sci-fi tale
The premise is great: the world is overpopulated so there is a 'one child per couple' policy
Rapace plays sextuplets who are looking for their missing sister

bleakIn classic post-apocalyptic style, The Road is all about survival
After Earth falls prey to calamity, a man and his son take the long journey across America to the ocean, fighting to hold on to their soul
genre and tone, execution really is everything
And with phenomenal performances from Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee, The Road is a worthy entry in the ever growing list of
