Control (2022)
7/10
What you can do with low budget and great talents.
15 November 2022
After watching the trailer, to my surprise this movie seemed to have the same creepy feeling as the computer game with the same name - not that i expected it to have any similarities.

Some great acting but what stand out the most is the brilliant writing and dialogue. It paints character in a believable light with both faults and redeeming qualities.

I was hanged up on some of what looked like storyboard inconsistency, but it turned out to have great explanations in the end thanks to the solid writing.

After a world building like this, as usual when a movie is thought provoking, i want a sequel set in the same universe, perhaps a bigger studio would want to support everyone behind this movie, as it were better told than some of the bigger budget movies on the same theme ?

I have to deduct one star for the padding with the dream sequences that were far to long, and two for the low budget - but otherwise, great movie.
