Iris

About This Movie

Iris (2015) is an intriguing piece that delves into the dark side of ambition and deception. The tone is unsettling yet compelling, creating a weighty atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. You’ve got these two businessmen, dressed up as filmmakers, trying to pull off something sinister, and it really plays with the idea of art imitating life, or maybe the other way around. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with the tension, which can be both frustrating and fascinating. Performances are solid—there’s a gritty realism that adds to the overall vibe. Notably, its practical effects, albeit limited, are used effectively to heighten the drama without overshadowing the narrative. It's a film that makes you think, rather than just watch.
