Fear, Love, and Agoraphobia

All that is wrong with movies these days is left to lesser, less confident, less brave films than this. Nothing cheap or sensational to this film. The cast is superb, and receives the editing, pace and directorial space it deserves: the acting is nuanced, explosive, intimate, but never false, glib, or facile in it's striving. The cast is given the job of carrying this film, and they do it triumphantly. The startling juxtaposition of a life-sentence prisoner, an agoraphobic, and a homeless person is a bold conception very well handled, and deeply provocative.
