Review of 1985

1985 (2018)
9/10
This Movie Made My Eyes Leak!
2 January 2021
Beautiful movie that packs the emotion as it slowly unfolds in front of us.

The performances are really touching and delivered honestly without hype.

I just recommend that you watch it.

An additional note. Congratulations to those who decided to shoot this film in black and white. I have long held the view that colour (I do love colour movies) can often be a distraction from detail and that emotion etc can be overlooked. For example if you take colour away from Transformers (and I do like the first 3!) then you may find the lack of story and depth to be exposed as the colourful, shiny bits are removed. With 1985, the absence of colour allows us to see more.

Special!
