Grey

..."Grey" seemed to me to be one of the few Christian parables I've ever seen that wore no cross on its sleeve. The writer/director is an unknown to me, as are the two actors, yet the whole thing felt like I'd seen and been comfortable with these folks for years. I'll not spoil a thing; two men under pressure react in vastly different ways to arrive at a conclusion that neither one of them likely expected.

Everything is of a piece productionwise;it all serves the story in a straightforward, honest manner. Assured direction yields photography and editing that draws viewers in and holds them close, while the same deft handling of actors draws natural and organic performances from the cast. The script never wears out its welcome, despite a certain degree of unlikelihood. Highly recommended.
