Gerald's Game (2017)
8/10
One of those psychological movies...
29 September 2017
...that are about a life-threatening situations. Surreal scenes blur-out into stringent sharp cuts getting you from the dream like reflections to the realistic what-to-do environment. Except the beginning and the ending, up and down it goes - from nightmarish reality to dreamy life-fading state. Or vice versa, I wouldn't know! Brilliantly depicted poetic moments with heavy psychological weight (call it trauma).

Maybe to some it will be slow paced at moments. But, I believe those are very much needed to make a viewer reflect upon the main character caught in that hard core situation. Great directing job and script made after a great writing. As put above in a way: to the point where you just don't recognize the transition in between real and imagination. First person narration is as good as it gets and guides one through this great movie. The unraveling ending was cherry on the top. Enjoy!
