So, Ransom '79 (2024) is this raw documentary that dives deep into the life of veteran journalist Charlie Bird. You feel the weight of his struggle with Motor Neurone Disease, and it's not just about the illness; it’s about that relentless pursuit of the truth, even as time slips away. There’s this heavy atmosphere throughout, punctuated by real, gritty interviews and moments that linger. The pacing kind of mirrors Bird’s journey—slow and contemplative, but with these bursts of urgency as he races against the clock. The practical effects are minimal, but the realness of the emotion hits hard. Bird’s performance, if you can even call it that, is deeply affecting. It’s not just a story of illness; it’s about legacy and the indomitable spirit of journalism.
