To Kill a Man (2014)★ 7.0/10

The cinematography is the film’s standout feature. Many scenes are shot in fixed or medium-long tracking takes, resulting in some beautifully composed frames. Still, the narrative offers little that’s new—it’s another story of a powerless man facing injustice, even if it’s based on true events.

This is a bleak film, yet its realism is undeniable. The protagonist’s timid and conflicted personality feels painfully authentic—and it’s also one of the reasons why his life spirals into tragedy.
