Stillwater (2021)

This "inspired by" take on the Amanda Knox murder story has been
rightly criticised by her but on its own terms is a hugely
underrated film, perhaps as it's been mis-marketed as both a
crime film and an actioner. It's neither, it's a very patient,
very effecting human drama with a surprisingly bitter sting in
the tail. Don't come here expecting a Liam Neeson film, it's far
more European and based on character growth and interaction and I
found it kind of wonderful. I always liked Matt Damon but never
regarded him as anything other than a perfunctory actor - with
this he turns the corner with a gravity-filled, natural career
best. His relationships with a problematic estranged daughter, a
deep, believable platonic love and in Abigail Breslin, one of the
most charming children in modern movie history are a far more
satisfying heart to this movie than the murder mystery.
