Prisoners2013

wow, what a ride. the story had me hooked from start to finish—it’s dark, intense, and so well done. hugh jackman absolutely blew me away. he’s so underrated it’s criminal. no one else could’ve played that role with that kind of raw emotion. untouchable. jake gyllenhaal? my darling. always incredible. his performance was so layered and quietly powerful. but can we please talk about paul dano? my cutie patootie was in it so little, but every second he was on screen? chills. he was haunting and heartbreaking and just so good. the whole atmosphere of the film, the direction, the setting, the pacing—it all just worked perfectly. such a gripping film. i need a moment.
