Review of In Bruges (2008) by Kj P — 12 Oct 2012

It may not be a pretty film, but the substance is glowing and the performances are immaculate. In his first directing role, Martin McDonaugh proves that he is in this business for the long-haul, creating a vibrant and colourful look at the town Bruges.

I was laughing at the subtle humour throughout the entire film and by the end, I was invested in everybody's backstories, and each event either had me laughing or on the edge of my seat. It is beautifully shot from the cinematography around the characters, to the accenting shots of the town.

I fell in love with this film right from the start, and it is one of my favourite films in recent years. "In Bruges" is terrific!
