User review:
I’d seen several short films by the Safdie brothers who made this movie as well as the their features The Pleasure of Being Robbed and Good Time. I liked all of them, but I didn’t necessarily loved them. But I figured that this one would at least be worth watching, and boy was I right! From the very beginning it’s wildly intriguing and entertaining, and it just keeps getting better. It feels so very real and very raw.
In a lot of way it feels just like a John Cassavetes film, which is definitely a good thing. And it doesn’t feel like someone set out to try to make a film in that style, but more like they just tried to make this raw, realistic portrayal of a very interesting character, and that was how it turned out. Almost like the Cassman did it himself!
And the lead role, played by Ronald Bronstein, was seriously great and fun to watch. That guy should be in more stuff. He was perfect for the part and I’m guessing that it was probably written for him. It was honestly one of the very best performances I have seen in the last ten years. And it never lets up.
Watch this movie if you can. You won’t be disappointed.
