Review of Vert

Vert (2019)
Made by the performances, hurt by the writing
25 August 2020
The cast bring a lot to the film - particularly Amuka-Bird and Vinall. There were tender individual moments with them and together. However I struggled that the same wasn't happening from the start because there were things I didn't buy which did then limit how much I was invested in the characters.

I'm not talking about the concept of the technology, but rather the relationship between the two. They didn't feel like a real couple at the start, mainly because there was nothing in their interactions that offered any small edge or history. The ending tells us she knew or suspected, and he obviously knew, so why was this not in those early interactions as a tension or reluctance.

Good in individual performance moments but not as a whole film.
