Segurança

Nice idea and well chosen site to develop it: a small coastal town during winter time.

Acting is good too, as well as filmography which I've found excellent.

There are a couple of things which I've found inconsistent thus I gave it a 7 and not an 8.

The move plot could be interesting but it gets messy and confusing pretty quick. A lot of stories tie together somehow but the resulting mix makes little sense.

Marco D'Amore and Fabrizio bentivoglio are good actors and did a nice job but I didn't like Maya Sansa at all, I'm sorry. She struggles to show any emotion, she seems to talk and act the same way despite of the scene she's in. It's also very difficult to understand what she says, because of the low and unclear voice.

The young guys, all of them, acted well.

The premise is quite good, but the slow execution, almost tiring, dragging, discouraged, it became tedious, but the original idea, of the benefits and harms of surveillance, which can be used in a derogatory way, as unnecessary and humiliating exposed, but as evidence of crimes, alibis and accusations... But if you manage to overcome the initial ostracism, we were delighted with an excellent work... Wonderful outcome, the film reminded me of the painful "Jagten"...

Lack of character development... which tends to lead to poor acting... an extremely boring slow story with too many things in the mouth at the same time. Foreign films made years ago could get away with this and folks would call it art. There's too much good stuff out there these days.

This is the type of existential movie we have a lot of, and love, here in Continental Europe but which are so alien to North American and UK viewers, so I can see why most English speakers gave it terrible marks.

Our cousins across the Alps are coming up with great dramas during this pandemic : La Vita davanti a sé, the Zero series, and now this one, Security.

Despite the title Security is not a police thriller or anything similar : it is just a good existential drama around the principal of a security company which installs security systems in rich people's houses in the beautiful real town of Forte dei Marmi - from this film and Google pictures I just want to go and visit it !

This film is all about personal dramas, family dramas, people's varying characters and how some people's character traits can lead to tragedies multiple steps down the line.

I loved it.
