The Rover’ review by Studio Ciné Live
A road movie with ironic darkness.
David Michôd likes contrasts. Discovered with ‘Animal Kingdom’, a psychological thriller, almost behind closed doors, visually dark, we find him three years later with a postapocalyptique western located in the australian outtaback, overwhelmed by the sun. But this light is misleading. ‘The Rover’ works in the same tetanizing way as his first feature film. (… Synopsis …) Accompanied by an anxiogenic and intriguing sountrack, this road movie is terribly ironic especially for his darkness. Subtly blowing hot and cold, Michôd manages to create empathetic conditions toward the selfish and monstrous central character in the literal sense. Until a disconcerting final scene, but finalizing the work of a this master of cynicism, so assured that it becomes fascinating. In the main roles, the rough hardness of Guy Pearce goes perfectly with lost innocence brought out by Robert Pattinson. Any resemblance to any existing characters and economic situtations … or about to be are obviously anything but accidental.
Here’s a wonderful new still of Rob in The Rover:
and here’s an older one with Guy (no Rob) in UHQ now as well
