One of Steve McQueen's most personal projects. For some reason McQueen got it in his head he wanted to make a film out of Henrik Ibsen's play. McQueen barely looks like McQueen with his shaggy hair and beard which is probably the biggest shock while watching this film. The other unbelievable thing about this film is that it's actually pretty good.
Ibsen's drama looks at the role of the majority in a democratic society and it ain't pretty. Ibsen's conclusion that majority rule isn't necessarily the best, right or honest rule is depressingly still relevant.
This is a good not great film, a little stagy but very well acted.
90 minutes
