Cold Pressed

I really like the vibe of Cold Pressed, with its throwback feel an image. At the same time as it feels familiar it's also very fresh as it's told through a lens we don't see often, the olive oil industry. You might think that olive oil is pretty innocent (I did), but not after watching this film. I guess it goes to show corruption can exist anywhere. I was also shocked to find out that things in this film were inspired by real life shenanigans in the olive oil industry. Anyways, for a well done gritty drama that will make you think every time you reach for the olive oil, Cold Pressed is your film.

Cold Pressed is a great indie thrill ride!! It's suspenseful and well done, is a bit of a throwback to gangster movies, but what surprised me the most was the setting of the story within an olive oil company. The performances are awesome and the direction is smart and cutting. I really enjoyed this and definitely recommend it to anyone who loves movies, it's fantastic! Bravo.

Cold Pressed pulls back the shade on a crime syndicate that I knew nothing about and explores the limitations of greed and forgery. An ensemble cast delivers a gripping story that will keep you engaged until the very end. Characters who are all to willing to betray each other in the pursuit of profit and petty desires create several storylines that operate in parallel with each other.

Watch this film to be absorbed in the not-oft explored word of olive oil production, and its purity or lack thereof. What starts as a twisting curiosity turns into a dark and violent suspense. I must say I felt happy when the main character, played by Ted Harvey, got what he deserved. He was a selfish, cruel man and the performance by Harvey was absolutely committed. The film twisted into territories I didn't expect and I appreciated that. And I really loved the score. Definitely worth a watch!

I loved the look and feel of this film from the moment it started. The story feels real and relevant but also fresh and with a twist. A great thriller film for fans of the genre!
