It Was Just an Accident

Wow, I really can’t recommend this film enough. If you were on the fence like I was, just watch it!

I went in completely blind, I hadn’t caught any trailers, I didn’t even read the synopsis - very unlike me. But honestly, I think the film seriously benefited from it. The film moves very sly for the opening 20 minutes or so, you’re really left in the dark as to what the craic actually is. When it reveals its hand, you’re immediately sucked in.

It Was Just an Accident is incredibly dark, ridden with trauma, using m an approach in which I don’t feel like I’ve seen before. It somehow manages to be funny in moments too, surprisingly working to great avail. The cast all did phenomenally, especially being most of the aren’t even actors as such.

That ending was breathtaking, literally - I froze in place. Sound on a whole was used effectively throughout, but nothing like it was at it draws to a close. Certainly need to check out more of Jafar’s work!

That tree scene was intense!

Fell short of my expectations...worth a watch tho

4/5, very intense and long drawn out scenes with incredible acting and one takes. Very reminiscent of incendies I thought

excellent, excellent, excellent 🙂‍↕️ so funny, engaging and suspenseful. the third act is especially good i was covering my eyes at the final shot from so much fear
