Tribeca ’24 Movie Reviews: “HUNTERS ON A WHITE FIELD,” “THE WEEKEND” and “#AMFAD: ALL MY FRIENDS ARE DEAD”
From around the world come three films with very different approaches to the human urge to kill.
From around the world come three films with very different approaches to the human urge to kill.
Set during different time periods, these three films have deep-seated chills in common.
The tone is not shock or terror but tragedy, and the story offers no easy answers, solutions or ways out for its characters.
The movie has a lot of explaining to do, and it gets in the way of cranking up the kind of relentless tension a film like this should generate in the home stretch.
Both films find their directors working in more mainstream mode than usual, and than their admirers would probably hope for.
