Review of Polar (2019) by Jbg50 — 28 Jan 2019

DA **** is up wiv youse "professional film critic" honkies? Yes, the "young killers" are grotesque and obnoxious, and yes, the Matt Lucas character is your stereotypical evil kingpin.

But surely that's at least half the point: If "Pulp Fiction" was Jospeh Campbell's "Journey Myth of The Hero" as broad and impetuous brushstrokes, "Polar" is the "paint by numbers" version.

But so what? There was a great deal to love and a great deal that engaged me with certain juxtapositions of sound, colour and dialogue in this film, while the narrative arc has an unusual twist in the tail.
