Review by badawi_33

Mass

9/10

12 Angry Men meets We need to talk about Kevin

Everyone mourned 10, we mourned 11.

What a gut wrenching experience. The movies puts you in an emotional vice that keeps getting tighter as the movie progresses. Cathartic does not even begin to describe this.

These actors rendered a sublime performance, all four, I do not remember of of their other roles and perhaps this immersed me further into the experience. I was not watching a movie, I was in this room, I was not aware of my surroundings, it was almost a weird sensation when the movie ended and we started looking at each other in disbelieve.

The five stages of grief model postulates that those experiencing grief go through a series of five emotions: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. You can witness each one of these stages in that room, palpable, visceral, tangible, haunting and gripping

No words can describe the loss of a child as experienced by his parents, and losing your child in this manner can take away your sanity, can render you hopeless, faithless and in a void.

Not sure that I want to talk about who deserves what award here, but this movie should not be in the category of entertainment, this should be in a category by itself.

Still in awe of what did I just witnessed here, still trying to comprehend, not sure I can see this again, I am afraid.
