Mass (2021)
10/10

Warning: Spoilers
The world mourned 10. We mourned 11.

Forgive me to say this but in my opinion this movie was very close to be on par with 12 Angry Men. Movies filled entirely of dialogues are usually boring, but few accomplished the task of completely engage while bringing out great emotions from audiences. These ain't even movies, they are more like real-life conversations where you feel like being the same room with actual people.

This 1 hour 50 minutes conversation between two couples trying to deal with the aftermath of a school shooting. It's not only emotional but near the end, it's also incredibly ambitious. While I think some dialogues got a bit overdramatized, the experience was still realistic and intense.

The four main actors didn't feel like actors. When they started to sit down, their facial expressions were enough to fill the room with suspense.

Overall, probably one of the most intense experience this year, and it's just between 4 damaged people. 10/10.
