Shell, 2012 - ★★★


There's something quite captivating about the loneliness and beauty displayed in both the film and character of Shell. Throughout there are hints of darkness which, like Steve McQueen's Shame, are mostly left in the past leaving an uncomfortable and ambiguous feeling in the air. When the truth is finally relieved it may not come as a surprise but the details are unexpected and perhaps even more conflicting than the awkwardness of the rest of the film.
