Rafferty

About This Movie

Rafferty is a fascinating deep dive into the murky waters of union politics and corruption, really captures the grit of its era. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as we follow Jack Rafferty through his trial. It’s not just about the courtroom drama, but the terrain of power and betrayal that hangs in the air. Performances have this raw quality, you can feel the weight of the stakes. The cinematography adds to the atmosphere, often casting characters in shadow to reflect their moral ambiguity. What I find distinctive is its unflinching look at the consequences of ambition and the cost of loyalty. It’s a film that demands your attention and leaves you with more questions than answers.
