The Zone of Interest2023

Appreciate and really am impressed by large chunks of this, which is elevated by its use of sound and the occasional dip into abstract imagery, but much like Glazer’s Under The Skin, it ends up, to me, feeling less and less focused on what made it so engrossing and different at the start, and slightly more basic than it sets itself up to be. But again, just like Under The Skin, this slight feeling of unsatisfaction does not stand in the way of how legitimately great this film is and feels, but instead makes it fall just short of a masterpiece.
