TimeLock

Whirled into a situation they are forced to wait out, TimeLock's key characters start to lose stability and stutter on their axes.

And just as a spinning top gets more fascinating the closer it gets to toppling, so the film grows more mesmerising as the gravity of waiting takes hold.

Mixing direct POVs, deliberately awkward visuals and depersonalising footage, David Griffiths excellently achieves an increasing sense of instability as his characters careen.

This is a taught, careful film from a director with an ice-cold eye for how things can push a man off balance.
