Martha Plimpton, Jason Isaacs, Reed Birney, and Ann Dowd in Mass (2021)
Years after an unspeakable tragedy tore their lives apart, two sets of parents (Jason Isaacs and Martha Plimpton, Reed Birney and Ann Dowd) agree to talk privately in an attempt to move forward. In Fran Kranz' writing and directing debut, he thoughtfully examines their journey of grief, anger and acceptance by coming face-to-face with the ones who have been left behind.

    8.1/10. A HYMN TO HUMANITY.

    In my opinion, this is the best movie since JOKER (2019). I am 43 years old, i haven't cried watching a movie or generally, for a long time, however there are moments here that brought tears to my eyes. They don't make movies like this anymore. This is a hymn to humanity. Every actor is amazing. It's not a flawless movie, but you will not get distracted because of it. Watch it without knowing the plot. The ending of this movie is the definition of "catharsis".

    A breathtaking debut feature

    Fran Kranz's 'Mass' is a breathtaking debut feature about grieving parents that will linger long after the movie is over. The four-person ensemble group delivers fascinating performances while conveying a nail-biting story. Honest, optimistic, and brave, it is profoundly compelling in both the intimacy of its dramatic scope and the universality of the subjects it addresses.

    Mass

    7/10 - hard to watch and packed with the powerful performances (particularly Ann Dowd's), this debut film for writer/director Fran Kranz plays very much like something you would expect to see on the stage but I felt it was a little overlong at times.

    An Outstanding Portrait of Devastation

    Mass tells a heart-breaking story in a way that feels unique in its own way with using interesting editing and dialogue choices that all in all makes it purposeful to see the experience writer/director Fran Kranz has crafted. Performance wise it is filled with considerate actors and actresses that need a lot of attention. And WTF the actresses from The Goonies and Parenthood is in this, and shes amazing. Like come on. If you get a chance to see it, don't waste it.

    A painful watch, but compelling viewing.

    Two couples sit down together in a perfectly well prepared room, to discuss a tragedy that links the four people.

    A masterclass in acting, no special effects, no big budget, just a talented group of actors, and a fantastic script.

    It's a very powerful film, it does something that many forget to do, it gives you both sides of the coin, the impact on both parties, the obviously injured, and the silently injured. It makes for a very thought provoking watch.

    Mass maybe slow to start, a little curious, you may, as I did, be scratching your head wondering what's happening, but after thirty minutes, you get the moment, the revelation, the reason for this inconvenience and awkward meeting.

    Truths, revelations, consequences, anger, when this film hits, it hits hard.

    I can't, and won't pick out a single performance, all were equally terrific, but it was great to see Jason Isaacs in a role like this, showing just how good he is.

    Not one to watch if you're a little low, or having a bad day, as the content is pretty bleak, but I'd you're intent on watching some first rate acting, this is for you.

    8/10.
