The Ferryman

About This Movie

So, 'The Ferryman' directed by Luke Agius, it's quite the mix, you know? It blends comedy, drama, and a touch of thriller in a way that feels very fresh. The pacing has this interesting ebb and flow, matching the ups and downs of James Archon's life. His struggles post-divorce and the downward spiral of his taxi business set a gritty but relatable tone. There's this dark humor threaded throughout, kind of poking fun at the absurdity of his situation. The performances, especially from the lead, have a rawness that really sells the character's desperation. The practical effects, though not overdone, add an authentic feel to the situations he finds himself in. It's just a unique ride, really.

Interesting blend of genres with a dark humor edge. · Raw performances that resonate with real-life struggles. · Practical effects that enhance the storytelling.
