What happened to the Rishi Sunak I knew at school?
Every scene is finely worked. A brief meeting with Mareb’s father tells us all we need to understand about him, for instance. And it’s beautifully filmed, with some scenes so mesmerising — I am thinking of one long tracking shot at a wedding in particular — that you might even momentarily forget a killer virus is after you. As for Gelbakhiani, otherwise a dancer, his performance is exquisite, perfectly capturing the thrill of first love, and while the ending may be somewhat predictable, it is still terrific. And physically electrifying.
So, in short, a worthwhile film for any time of night or day. Luckily.
