Review of Under the Shadow

Acting: very good, throughout Cinematography: also very good Atmosphere: great, the historical and foreign setting set it apart from the outset, and the horror and fantastic elements were layered in with a skilful hand. Tension with some genuine scares. Story: great, unique. The war allegory and the cultural oppression all worked very well for me. Demerits: actually none really, one of my favourites of the year

Overall: highly recommended 9/10
