Featured review
Risky, stylish and everything cinema should be!
My Rating : 8/10
'Decision to Leave' is one hell of a ride - it's a lot of movie and with a runtime of 2 hours and 18 minutes there's lots of things going on - like a puzzle with elements of melodrama and violence, lots of humour to not get too in your face, essential for a dark slow-burn movie that's trying to create something interesting and innovative.
This is a different type of a critique movie - it's more personal and not trying to be like 'Parasite' - this is more introverted and it's a beautiful love story given all the craziness - it's more a textbook movie than one which is open to reviews and interpretations.
Sublime, ethereal with all the dark humour anyone could ever ask for. Highest Recommendation.
