“It is a tough, grim watch, but also one of the best things you're likely to see all year” writes roarEcashin
One of the most well-known true-life disasters in the history of mankind, it would take a steady hand not to tip the scales while telling the story ofInstead, HBO have followed a route previously set out by The Impossible, in which an actual disaster is portrayed as an out-of-human-control horror movie, something to be survived and endured instead of being entertained by.
Filled with grim, woozy visuals as the illuminated, radioactive cloud fills the night sky, and a constantly oppressive score by Hildur Guðnadóttir , the mood immediately grabs you like a vice around your heart and does not let up once; only twisting tighter and tighter and the reality of how bad the situation truly is reveals itself.
Irish talent Jessie Buckley plays the wife of one of the first-responding firemen on the scene, while Barry Keoghan, who is also on the cast-list, had yet to appear by the end of the second set of credits. As everyone involved gets a better handle on the extremity of the disaster - up to and including Mikhail Gorbachev - the plans begin to be put in place in order to stop things from getting any worse. But those plans are secondary to any word of the disaster getting out in the first place, as some in the government are more concerned about Russia's appearance than Russian's civilians.
