Review of The Courier (2020) by Nikodukenasar — 16 Apr 2021

Someone could say every story about the cold war has already been told, but The Courier might surprise you with it's deep characters and commitment to the role by actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Merab Ninidze. The courtier doesn't try to show cold for from a bird-eye perspective like other films there is not killing or shooting or explosions epic music etc. The story of the film is more detailed and nuanced and like praise in a movie with similar meaning says : sometimes two great actors are enough to tell a great and motivating story that will restore your belief in humanity.

Oh yes, I almost forgot cinematography and color-grading are amazing, Dominic Cooke shows his high class in film directing with laconic storytelling and elegance.
