Review of A Most Violent Year (2014) by Marcdoyle — 31 Dec 2014
After only Margin Call and A Most Violent Year, J.C. Chandor is one of my favorite directors. The way he sets up and executes dramatic conversational moments without overplaying his hand is remarkable.
Isaac, Chastain, and Oyelowo are at the absolute head of the class, and they are each pitch perfect in this film. About halfway through the proceedings, I wanted so badly to have this movie serve as the pilot to a new dramatic series.
But by the end I was so happy that it stands alone and does so so powerfully.
