This is How Movies Should Be Made
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
