Review of 88

88 (2022)
Instant classic
26 March 2023
I don't give 10s and rarely give 9s, so this is an A grade.

This movie kept me on the edge of my seat. A political thriller that does not follow conventional story-telling patterns. The filmmaker kept me guessing throughout.

A Tribeca gem, this piece holds a mirror to the flawed political system without removing the filmmaker's neutrality, this allowing the audience to ponder the implications of the plot twists without bias.

There are genuine tense moments that build suspense and anticipation. In the vein of whodunits but without campy humor or over the top tropes.

The ending does not leave me any room for character empathy or a feeling of finality to the journey. It only left me saying, "where do we go from here?"
