Beyond the Night

This movie is kind of weird but not in a good way. The story is perfectly fine and I actually was invested in it at certain points. It's not bad, which is always what a director loves to hear, but it did feel like sucking on a brown paper bag at points.

The competent actors are bland and it's partially from amateurish performances but also just poor writing. Everything looks really clean so you kind of forget you're watching this unknown film until you zone out and have to keep re-winding.

Azhy Robertson, the kid in this movie was probably someone who impressed me the most. That's more of a complaint than anything though.

You know what, it's fine, I didn't like it, maybe you will. I'm not going to try and peel apart this average film for 20 minutes. They wrote a story, executed it well and it just happens to be a pretty bland story. That really could have been the whole review. There's nothing that stood out to me from a writing, directorial or production standpoint so it is what it is.
