Under Control brings a raw intensity to the drama genre, exploring Bruno's existence within the confines of a virtual prison. The electric bracelet symbolizes an unsettling control over his life, and the paradox of freedom within a 2km² zone creates a claustrophobic atmosphere that resonates throughout the film. The pacing pulls you in, slowly revealing the nuances of his struggle against the system. Performances are gritty, capturing that sense of desperation and rebellion. What stands out is its practical effects—minimal yet effective, elevating the tension without over-reliance on CGI. It’s a contemplative piece, touching on themes of autonomy and control that linger long after viewing. Quite distinct from the typical offerings in the genre.
