Review of Victoria (2015) by Late R — 31 Mar 2018
Apart from being a hugely impressive technical feat with everything being filmed in a single take (one, continuous take... mind-blowing), what makes this such a remarkable film is just how incredibly immersive it is.
Everything comes together - the ultra-realistic acting, dialogue and characters, as well as the lack of anything that would feel out of place in the real world (effects, filters, unrealistic explosions etc.
) -- to make the audience feel like they're right there as an unseen character, experiencing the events as they are, making it an almost unbearably tense affair that has you very much on edge. Real effort was put into making it feel genuine, sometimes too genuine with a few scenes that go on for just that little bit too long; and some that, whilst they may be realistic, don't make for particularly engaging viewing.
Overall, however, it is very, very good and proves that you don't need all the bells and whistles to create something pretty amazing.
