The emotional core of "Vengeance" is strong despite the film's simplicity. The film features many emotional states, shattered stereotypes, funny situations, and reflective moments. It covers a wide range of topics, so you'll find food for thought here regardless of where you stand on any given issue.
The dialogue was well-written, but the story dragged a bit (closer to the end); more time should have probably been spent "unpacking" the family. But it was still fine as it was. I enjoyed the ending, although it wasn't too realistic, and the acting in the tent scene felt a little restrained. But hey, it's a film.
It almost had that documentary feel, which reminded me of Borat (albeit not as satirical). Thematically, it reminded me of "Everything Everywhere All at Once," though this is a matter of taste. It could just be me.
I think you'll find 'Vengeance' to be an engaging exploration of our nature and the values we hold dear. Not too deep and not oversimplified. Balanced and enjoyable (and a little long).
7.5/10.
