Review of Down Terrace (2010) by Arseniy V — 10 Apr 2011
Downbeat, laced with mordant wit and dark as can be: a tale of small criminals in a confined environment, family fortunes, and escalating paranoia between father, mother and son. A slow-growing film which is a million miles away from gormless Guy Richie's Brit-trash flicks; the naturalistic acting and dialogue lend it an almost documentary feel and flashes of often absurd humour lift the grimness.
It's one of those unusual films that you may have to watch all the way through before you can make a judgment. Watch it all the way through: it's worth it.
