Another old favorite that didn't hold its own after watching it again. Ben X is still a very interesting and worthy film, but the second half felt a bit forced and the contrast with the first part was too big for my liking. A simpler script might've done the film some good, putting a bigger focus on the characters and the presentation. The film deals with some rather heavy subjects but does so in a very modern and accessible way. The in-game footage has aged considerably, but the cinematography and score still feel contemporary enough. It's the twists and turns in the second half that slowed the film down, especially as I was already aware of the outcome. Still worth a shot if you've never seen this one before. Read all
