A MOST VIOLENT YEAR
Directed by: J.C. Chandor
Starring: Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain, David Oyelowo, Albert Brooks
Run time: 125 mins
Language: English subtitles
Rating: R
Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain and last year’s breakout actor, Oscar Isaac, give understated and gripping performances in this intelligent drama by the writer of “Margin Call” and “All is Lost.” In the winter of 1981 -- statistically one of the most crime-ridden of New York City's history -- an eager businessman and his family attempt to capitalize on the American Dream and protect their burgeoning success. Despite its title, this film is taut, quietly rendered, and atmospheric.
“A revelation: meticulously constructed, brilliantly acted,
suspenseful and sharply written.”
