Review of 1922 (2017) by Michael M — 07 Nov 2018

Very much a methodical slow-burn of a movie, it's not exactly for everyone, but for what it was 1922 worked well enough for me. It's really a miserable sort of movie, kind of an anti American dream.

Basically a guy who tries to accomplish something and hold on to what he has and just loses everything in the process and the slow loss of watching that happen. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s tense, uncomfortable, chilling, and damned effective.

For what itï¿ 1/2(TM)s doing, it does it damn well. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s not really the sort of movie I can see myself returning to as a fun movie to watch again, but it is an effective film, with great performances all around and a killer atmosphere.
