The Order (2024) - Justin Kerzel (MOVIE REVIEW)

[@UrsGrether]

Justin Kurzel sitting between the chairs - as an Aussie in the US (get other Aussies like Peter Weir, John Hillcoat, Fred Schepisi, Phillip Noyce) like the Canadian Villeneuve, like the Taiwanese Ang Lee - -

Enjoyed it but for me the script lacked drama. Apparently the Jude Law character was a composite, which is fine but why did the composite have to be so boring. Just so tired of the cliched burnt out law officer who drinks too much and loses their family. In every movie the partner either nags or leaves. Agree with you it didn’t feel very arthouse, except I loved the music score by the director’s brother, really upped the tension. But if Kurzel wasn’t going to be his edgy arty self, I probably would have preferred this as a documentary. Like all “based on a true story” movies it left me on Wikipaedia all night.

Agreed!
