Brutal Season (2023)
Contemporary Classic

This tension filled drama set in the late 1940s, is also a tip of the cap to movies of that era. Hitchcock's Rope comes to mind. Basically a chamber play, the confined space of the small apartment adds to the tension building throughout the movie as the Trouth family navigates through a hot summer and it's disruption by the return of a wayward son. The ensemble cast, each struggling with its own issues carry the story to its dark conclusion. The cinematography stretches itself creatively to keep confines of the space interesting, and the musical score brings the story together beautifully. This a classic movie lovers movie for sure.
