Review of The Oath (2018) by Jim Slotek for Original Cin — 18 Oct 2018
As a first-time filmmaker, Barinholtz is on training wheels, shooting almost entirely in closed-space interior, the better to concentrate on his words. To that extent, The Oath is (at first anyway) a scarily realistic depiction of the argument feedback loop that seems to be ripping society apart.
But the denouement allows him to slip away without a realistic premise for how one would leave that loop.
