Roofman
Roofman is a film by the brilliant filmmaker Derek Cianfrance, and every one of his films has its own unique style and charm. Of his previous works, I especially liked The Place Beyond the Pines (2012).
In Roofman, I felt a certain darkness combined with a slightly comedic nature. It is not overtly dark and not overtly funny. Rather, it just is what it is. In a sense, it combines many different shades, but the main one is probably realism.
The storytelling does not feel like another film made just to entertain the audience. On the contrary, it subtly raises important themes: betrayal, the modern world, individualism.
For me, this film felt like a twin of The Place Beyond the Pines (2012), and I would even say that’s a good thing, because these kinds of films are the ones you want to return to again and again over time!
