Review of Starred Up (2014) by Joshua T — 16 Jan 2015
With gripping performances from Jack O' Connell and Ben Mendelsohn, Starred Up is a brutal yet beautiful prison drama. While the film has it's share of prison clichés it's the character focus that drives the story.
The violence serves purpose without becoming too gratuitous and rather than sinking into the unsettling despair of prison life it leaves room for optimism. A moving portrayal of a father and son relationship behind bars.
