Review of Starred Up (2014) by Andy P — 19 Sep 2014
It walks a fine line between exploitation and thoughtful drama but Mackenzie's brutal prison film manages to be sympathetic without relying on sentimental cliches of the drama. There are no revelatory, breakthrough moments in therapy or with a fellow inmate, just hard hitting, brutal honesty delivered by a terrific pair of performances from O'Connell and Mendelsohn.
