Review of Partisan (2015) by Paul D — 24 Apr 2016

Not for everyone, this is a moody piece which tends to try too hard in reaching art house standards.

The premise is interesting, but the film as a whole fails to both grip me as a viewer and stir my emotion.

I can't help but think that a lot more could and should have been done with Gregori and Alexander's relationship to at least make the ending mean more than it actually did.

And....where are the Police?? Surely a threat to Gregori's ideal world would create more tension and vulnerability.

Interesting, but fails to reach the heights I was expecting.
