Stillwater - Reviews

...Tom McCarthy has returned with another rumination on unfulfilled justice.

The performances here are lovely, and Damon enjoys distinctly sweet connections with both Cottin and Siauvaud.

Breslin gives one of her finest performances as a young woman desperate enough to cling to straws, bratty enough to cast blame, enough of her father’s daughter to make us wonder.

Spotlight director McCarthy skilfully cranks up the tension...

The whole thing is solidly anchored by Damon...

Damon neatly disappears into the role of Bill Baker, a marginally employed Oklahoma oil rigger in stiff Wranglers and wraparound shades.

...a thoughtful, knotty character study...

...this slow-burn neo-noir unfolds as a detailed, nuanced character study, with no detail too small and plot twists layered expertly into the tapestry.

A damn effective roughneck drama.

...Damon turns in one of the finest performances of his career...

Det är nästan lika otippat som väntat att se den här typen av thrillerdrama i händerna på gamla skådespelaren McCarthy...
