Settling in to bed for a movie I did my random pick and mix and was presented with The Harvest which was mistakenly advertised as a horror, I can assure you that it isn't.
Starring modern day Zod himself Michael Shannon it is a well constructed fascinating little mystery that tells the story of an ill child with his overbearing mother.
It's one of those films that I was drawn into but didn't know quite why, however was eager to find out just quite where it was going.
The pivotal reveal turns the tide of the movie, and I mean that in a good way. The story takes shape, the cast do a stellar job and this under the radar movie I'd never heard of actually succeeded in blowing me away.
I can't say much about The Harvest without ruining it, I will merely say this is a masterworks in filmmaking and though not flawless is still a highly impressive little film.
The Good:
Very well written
Performances are flawless
Perfectly paced
The Bad:
A couple of unanswered questions linger
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Michael Shannon has one facial expression, I'm starting to think it's a mask
