Review of Neptune Frost (2022) by Jluis_001 — 23 Feb 2023
When it doesn't have its ups and downs, Neptune Frost manages to amaze in a very impressive way.
It covers quite a lot conceptually, tonally and thematically but succeeds in doing so without stifling itself.
It is a skillful exploration of imagination. Even when it might seem like the film is dancing on a precipice where it could lose its way, Neptune Frost remains creative and captivating.
Although what is presented on screen is not something I would classify as intricate or overly experimental, attention is an essential requirement to digest it.
Perhaps its artistic display may seem to overshadow its message a little, but for me the symbiosis between the two is very good and works more than fine.
Neptune Frost is an excellently textured film that demonstrates that it is not necessary to force a passable and predictable form to tell this type of story.
