The Hippopotamus

This is a beautifully well made, extraordinary well acted movie. I would argue it's quite a high brow watch, but then you should be expecting that.

There isn't exactly a plot of sorts, other than someone is hired to solve a series of mysteries, other than that it just seems to be a series of random occurrences.

The visuals are really nice, great location work, and an incredible setting.

The characters are larger than life let's say, the best element for me was the acting of the ever wonderful Roger Allam.

It feels very disjointed in parts, but overall it's definitely worth your time, the dialogue is wonderful at times.

Worth seeing, 7/10.
