45 Years, 2015 - ★★★★

Despite all the praise, I was struggling to find the motivation to actually leave the house to go and see 45 Years, it just didn't feel like it was a "cinema film". Fortunately my favourite arthouse kept playing it and so I eventually made it. In it's small unassuming way it may not appear cinematic but it does benefit from an intimacy and a lack of distraction that the cinema brings. The result is really quite remarkable with Rampling's magnificent performance holding everything together (or pulling it apart?). It's the kind of film that feels like a reflection of humanity along with all the complexities life brings but never feels like it's trying too hard.
