"Look what you've done Michael!" Mubi has unveiled a quick teaser for Bring Them Down, a new Irish thriller about families from filmmaker Chris Andrews. This recently premiered at TIFF and Fantastic Fest this fall, plus Beyond Fest and London and a few others. An Irish shepherding family thrust into battle on several fronts: internal strife, hostility within the family, rivalry with another farmer. Paternalism, heritage, and the generational trauma cycle through the cultural prism of Ireland. TIFF adds: "Bring Them Down bristles with twists and tension, its gorgeous pastoral landscapes turning into sites of escalating violence. Yet the film never settles for simplistic hero/villain binaries. Instead, brilliantly shifts perspective, revealing the fears and aspirations driving all its characters — a strategy that succeeds in no small part due to Abbott and Keoghan, who share an incredible ability to reveal for the camera what their characters are hell-bent on hiding." Starring Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott, with Colm Meaney, Nora-Jane Noone, Paul Ready, Aaron Heffernan, and Susan Lynch. So far looks good, keep an eye out for this one soon. // Continue Reading ›
