Tetris2023

I am glad to have started my year with this movie. Going into it I was promised a story set at the dawn of Tetris, one of the greatest milestones in gaming, and the Gameboy, a small device that went a long way in shaping my life. What I was blissfully unaware of however was the larger than life epic that was told through the most intimate and humane characters; a story about passion, art, gaming, family, freedom, politics and greed set in motion during the rot that would consume one of the most powerful political entities of its time. The visuals, music and art direction can also not be praised enough, not unlike the rich and profound performances delivered by each and every member of the cast. God I love that sound track.
