🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film exists at its own rhythm. Doesn't rush the viewer, doesn't suggest how to react — trusts its own material.
If the genre speaks to you — worth watching. If not — not the most obvious choice, but a pleasant surprise isn't impossible.
For those who appreciate genre cinema made with intelligence and without snobbery.
Director: Alexander Mackendrick
