AFIN recognition
From the Judges, on South of Heaven (2021)
From the Judges, on South of Heaven
A single unbroken shootout sequence lingers long after the credits, a shot of pure nerve that signals the film's command of tempo. Blending three genres into one confident whole, the direction keeps its tone shifting and dynamic, holding the panel on edge from scene to scene. The editing and pacing carry it all with real assurance, and a cast working at full passion lends every character weight and menace.
