Review of The Square (2008) by Aaron C — 26 Aug 2010
Even from it's opening scene, it's not difficult to surmise things will be going quite badly for the adulterous couple we're introduced to, but my, what an understatement this turns out to be.
Even after only five minutes in, the film begins to unfold in a surreal, mesmerizing fashion, moving swiftly from one frustratingly intriguing circumstance to the next , absorbing you in its gripping web of chaos and disaster.
On par with A Simple Plan and Blood Simple, this powerhouse film about a man and a woman who plan to run off with her husband's gangster money see their lives go from bad to appallingly worse. The film is nothing short of a masterpiece and it's one of the best movies I've seen in years.
