Review of Berlin Syndrome (2017) by Rusty R — 26 Jan 2018
A suspenseful, well-written thriller with terrific performance from Teresa Palmer. One of the better kidnap thrillers I've seen in a while, it's sure to stay in memory for a long, long time to come.
I think this was Teresa Palmer's best performance ever, emotional, captivating but also sweet and beautiful, a great feat considering the character's situation and surroundings.
From the films I've seen, with her in it, she had some decent-to-really-good performances in Hacksaw Ridge and Warm Bodies but in Berlin Syndrome she truly breaks out her inner emotions and her subtly acting chops fully out to the world.
A wonderfully directed thriller with a claustrophobic setting that will haunt you, that will keep you at the edge of your seat for quiet a while.
