Escape Room: Tournament of Champions 2021

This time around, I already knew where the story was heading so I was picking up on the subtleties and nuances that eluded me. There’s a lot here you’ll miss on only one viewing, The lead character is so complex and inscrutable, Holiday never delivers easy, satisfying conclusions on victimhood, abuse and power. She flits between down-to-earth and sociopathic behaviour interchangeably. Holiday has echoes of Ulrich Seidl’s films too. He’s great at documenting Europe’s bogans and the supporting cast here look like they share the same casting agent.
