Review of Profile

Profile (I) (2018)
7/10
Well done
2 July 2022
I was skeptical at first whether I would be able to hold out for long, virtually enduring only one camera angle, namely the one on Amy's laptop, for over 100 minutes. It succeeded and the reason is the cleverly made and well told story about a journalist who wants to uncover the recruiting actions of ISIS and in the process gets caught in the manipulative networks of her charming victim, who now in turn plays his cat and mouse game with her. The viewer knows no more than Amy, and what goes on in her head is ultimately what we experience. Well acted and straightforwardly told without frills. To what extent this is understandable and whether Amy's naivety is sometimes perhaps too much of a good thing, everyone must decide for themselves. For me it worked.
