Based off a best selling historical-mystery-thriller apparently.Viewed it for the first time last night. Great film to go to sleep to.
Definitely one of the stranger films I saw in a while. But great acting from Ben Whishaw and Alan Rickman. The sets looked great (alittle Tim Burtonesque) and it has a superb atmosphere. Its visceral impact with the kills and the direction’s effort to convey an intoxicating sensation via smell was mostly convincing. Some acting was a little hokey.
The ending was a tad more ‘climactic’ than I prefer. The extras sold the hell out of the building-up to that scene though. It’s one of the moments where I was like “an American director couldn’t have made this movie”.
6/10.
