Review of Hold the Dark (2018) by Valeli — 29 Sep 2018
A very well-filmed movie. Very atmospheric, and featuring actors who I thought did a good job pretty much across the board.
The actual plot, such as it is, doesn't really go anywhere. The entire movie transitions from a thriller to violent pulp to I'm not sure what, and ends up as nothing more than a vehicle for symbolism. I don't like that. Symbolism is well and good, but you can fit it into a movie that tells a coherent story. I just felt vacant and a bit drained after watching this. Maybe that's the point, but I'm not sure why it should be.
