Review of Luce (2019) by Deanomite — 10 Jan 2020

This was a great movie. What struck me most is that how people act is connected to how they are treated, especially in the context of defending themselves. Trust is hard to come by and more rare all the time.

What value is family when they turn against themselves at the first opportunity? I have read that family is not really based on trust and loyalty but on a hierarchy of mutual deceit, a Machiavellian structure in synecdoche of the larger society.

That is a subject that could be interesting, a sort of film noir based on family dynamics, in the spirit of Brick.
