Review of Tyrannosaur (2011) by Alexson P — 28 Nov 2011
Just watched Tyrannosaur. It's a very good but rather depressing film about abuse. This film is Paddy Considines first achievement in direction and he has done a very well done job at it despite certain flaws that stop it from achieving greatness. I did admire the fact that the pacing was very good. The performances are really what carry this film mainly Olivia Colman. Peter Mullan gives quite an amazing performance as well but it's really Olivia,playing as a woman suffering from battered woman syndrome, gives the most captivating performance out of all the actors in this film. I totally think that she deserves an oscar for her role. The film has a very bleak visual appeal, which I found to be another plus. The film really does try to show certain forms of abuse but it could have been MORE better if it went deeper and went for a more shock factor approach near the end. None the less, this is a good film that I reccomend for all of you to view.
7.9/10.
