Victoria, one take, no escape. 9/10

Victoria is a prison. You don't have time to breath, underwater, stuck in the only take the movie was shot in. Here you are trap for 2h20 in the life of this spanish girl working and partying in Berlin.

Cut in a movie gives you time to breath, relax, think about what just happened, settle. The idea of a single shot is brilliant, especially when everything goes wrong. Then you are stuck in this nightmare, like when you see yourself drown and you just can watch the slow death.


Of course you can say the script is not a very long and complicated piece of writing, but it's good, good enough for the point here, live the experience of a night that goes bad. 
The actress, Laia Costa is amazing and the guy holding the camera, Sturla Brandth Grovlen is an ace.

Watch this. It's great.
