The Recordist, a 2020 thriller, dives into the murky waters of obsession with a sound recordist named Andrew. It's got this unsettling vibe, really. Andrew’s fixation on actress Amy spirals as he starts eavesdropping on her life, turning a simple crush into something dark and invasive. You can feel the tension build up as he manipulates situations to gain control. The pacing is deliberate, reflecting his growing obsession. The performances, especially from the lead, draw you in, making you squirm at times. It doesn't shy away from the ethical dilemmas of privacy and consent, which gives it a distinctive edge. Plus, the sound design itself plays a crucial role, almost like another character in the film.
