Review of The Hunt (2013) by Andrew B — 11 Dec 2012

I really wanted to give this film a much higher rating. It's beautifully filmed, the acting (particularly from the child lead) is superb and you can't help but be drawn in by the injustices suffered by the protagonist.

But it's flawed. None of the characters seems to develop or change as a result of their experiences; nor did I ever have a real sense of catharsis. In consequence, it didn't really work for me as drama.
