In this category, CARGO, is incredibly underrated. However, nothing tops 'The Road' though. It's one of those rare films that's SO good at it's job, that it's almost unwatchable. If that makes sense.
@@HBarnillif you want to see a masterclass in overacting because there’s really no acting skill, Michelle Keegan is your lady. As we (thankfully) are seeing more character driven movies, I think we’ll be seeing a lot more of Jodie Comer.
I thought this was absolutely fantastic. I was completely blown away by it when I went to see it. This melancholic style mixed with “The Road” is what I wanted for “The Last of Us” series. Instead we got formulaic tosh except for the Bill & Frank episode. Jodie Comer is such a fantastic actress and will win many awards over her career. And one thing I really admired about this film was its very light use of CGI for a post apocalyptic film. It was very grounded in reality.
Just seen it. Thought it was very good, Jodie Comer gives remarkable performance. Despite being in every scene, she manages to find a new emotion in every look, glance. For me one of the greatest actors working today. Don’t expect large scale apocalypse. Small and intimate with limited dialogue, great direction. If I have any slight grumbles, it would be that I thought the second half of the film slightly faltered in deciding whether to maintain this small yet devastating story within a wider context or whether to confront the dystopian reality
It's a bit disappointing. It sorta cops out, when she goes across the UK then comes back home. And the flooding has subsided, but there's lots of people there. Makes you think, if they didn't leave, maybe the guys parents would have still been alive. Tell a lie, seemed like the guys parent's were feeding an entire village from there own stocks. They probably would have died of starvation anyway. It's difficult to tell the passage of time. Only thing we can go on is the size of the baby. I don't even think a year has passed - more likely just a few months. Yet somehow we are to believe all the supermarkets, all the warehouses in the UK have no food, people have all moved out of the cities and into refugee camps. There's no talk about other countries being affected!! Everyone wears it, like it's the end of the world and years, decades have passed. That civilisation has collapsed. We're all living in concentration camps. Not exactly the end. It seems like the makers of this movie, never experienced a bad day in their life. Everything seems so overexaggerated. Go and live in a 3rd world country sometime or goto Plymouth for a few months then tell me how bad it is living on the streets and surviving.
It was not worth the time watching. It was a typical dystopian movie, this time about a woman with newly born baby escaping from disaster and meeting various strangers on the way. It was undoubtedly well-acted, but the question remains why I should spend two hours watching this.
Jodie is amazing but this film is a horrendous take on motherhood. Don’t have a child if you’re not made for it. Self absorbed portrayal of motherhood, told from a narcissist no doubt. I hated this film, well more the character of the mother. It’s more about how you deal with hardship than the flooding. Some people should not be mothers full stop

Jodie Comer has serious range. Going to be considered one of the greats.
Always love her. What a gem.
She's unreal!
Not really. She overacts way too much.
@@HBarnillNot really. She’s great.

There's no one like Jodie Comer. Best talent on the planet. Love her!
The title is a quote from a TS Elliot poem.
Little Gidding.
"Ends, Starts and Leaves" :P

Jodie Comer is the greatest actress in the world for me.
It always bugged me that the Pedro Almodovar film wasn't called "The Skin in Which I Live"
Jodie is amazing.. Joel Fry is a charisma free zone!

Of course, I'll watch it but can also see it for what it is. If you know, you know.
What the hell was going on with Jodie's accent in this? Half of it was scouse and half of it wasn't.
Jodie Comer can do no wrong in my eyes
Alongside Emily Blunt
I was waiting for your review!
The title is less strange to US idiom.
I found this rather underwhelming. Jodie Comer was good but many of the big moments moments in the film felt flat.
Pretty alarmist I think, I just went to watch Jodie act honestly.
Disappointing, as it suffers from style over content. Good performances but the narrative and script let it down pretty badly

It was all Metaphor.
London will flood very soon if they don't invest in the Thames barrier
Great acting, terrible film.
