Audience Member Oscar Issac's first movie. Beautiful movie. Beautiful score by Abel Korenlowski. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Spotty accents aside, the depressing tone is its only downside. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Pu-239 a.k.a. The Half Life of Timofey Berezin is about Timofey, a worker at a Russian nuclear plant that has seen better days. He appears to be a simple man but the sporadic narration by the main character shows his true knowledge. An accident occurs at the plant and he and his family are relieved to learn it was a non-lethal dose of radiation. Upon him delving deeper into the incident he learns what he was told is not the truth and must risk everything for his family. He is thrust into the Russian underworld after meeting a black market dealer. Their relationship is unique and builds as they learn more about each other. The movie is filled with quirky characters and situations as well as wonderful cinematography. It shows how far a husband and a father will go to ensure his families survival. Watch closely at the end to truly appreciate the magnitude of the actions. 8 out of 10 - Recommended for all audiences; some science education will help but is not needed.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely better than the 50% critics' rating! It's got decent direction (esp. for a debut) and the acting is actually pretty good by all, with Considine the stand-out even though it's an understated role for him. Only thing that lets it down is the pacing and probably the plot wanders a bit more than you want from a 'thriller'. The sort of film that's really great if you just happen upon it without expectation, but not probably quite up to par for an evening-in's main feature. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is just another hidden gem from HBO. It is a little slow to start, but this is probably the darkest comedy ( and funniest in a twisted way) that you will ever see. Paddy Considine plays the lead in a character that you can tell would normally be an awkward nerd, but forced by extreme circumstances to do what he must to save his family.
