Surto

Taken at face value you could mistake this movie for a Falling Down clone set in the UK, but that's a huge disservice to the excellent job Whishaw does of conveying the build up, and aftermath, of a mental breakdown. Minimal dialog and free-hand camera work make the experience immersive, and Aneil Karia's direction does a great job of keeping the audience slightly detached from the reality going on around the protagonist, just as he feels detached from the world. Highly recommended.

If you've ever watched someone close have a severe mental breakdown then this might hit a few nerves. This was not overacted it was real and raw. This is happening all over the world and people need to realise it can happen to them or someone close to them. Whoever said this was overacted clearly hasn't witnessed this type of breakdown first hand in their lifetime. I hope they never do as it is most harrowing and terrifying for family members. The acting was first class and really showed the true reality of the lack of understanding of others. My heart goes out to those who have suffered such severe mental breakdowns and their loved ones that have witnessed them.

Joseph (Ben Whishaw) works at the airport security checkpoint. He's struggling with mental illness and it spirals out of control.

Full marks for Ben Whishaw's performance. Full full marks. The story could do a bit more dramatic reworking. It needs a more compelling climax. It does get a bit repetitive. Nevertheless, this is all about Ben and he's amazing.

This movie is raw.

The actor does a great job playing the character.

I can't say much or it spoils it.

Camera filming is shaky, but sort of fits what's going on.

What an incredibly hard film to watch. I liked it, I hated it, and as it went on I felt the cheese was slipping of my cracker!! Glad I got to the end without having a breakdown. Well done, but in an uncomfortable, that jumper I haven't worn in a year is infested with creepy crawlies, sort of way. Don't worry I've covered all the mirrors in the house, because I keep having arguments with someone who has an uncanny resembleance to me!!
