Review of Encounter (2021) by Jaywhitaker1987 — 22 Dec 2021
They should not have cast Riz Ahmed; he is way, way too good for this movie. The quality of his performance makes every other aspect of the movie look like genuine trash. The unambitious script, workmanlike editing, and failure to adequately direct or work around the child performers make for an overall very mediocre film.
At least, the film would be mediocre if it had a mediocre star at its center. But it doesn't; it has Riz Ahmed. When the film fails to rise to the level of his performance, it fails to justify its own existence.
