Review of In Bruges

In Bruges (2008)
8/10
Pleasantly surprising!
26 April 2008
There is a pleasant surprise to entering a movie theater with zero expectations, having not seen the trailer or read any reviews.

A dark dramatic comedy, I enjoyed the camaraderie between Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes, each actor playing off the other. Clémence Poésy, someone I'd never heard of, put in a surprising performance playing Farrell's love interest.

Kudos to the filmmakers for shooting in Bruges, which is the silent co-star here. With its centuries-old architecture, historical significance, and homey atmosphere, I'd like to visit this city the next time I make my way to Europe.
