Shout by Tony Bates

Zero Dark Thirty 2012

Jessica Chastain is awfully prolific, but as far as I’m concerned she can never be in too many movies. She’s brilliant here and such a joy to watch. On first viewing I thought the movie was a tad unfocused, but I enjoyed rewatching and was able to see the various elements come together in a more coherent way. Particularly notable is the UBL raid sequence that concludes the film–it’s viscerally shocking and almost physiologically demanding. Never seen anything like it. I wish Kathryn Bigelow had won for this movie instead of The Hurt Locker.
