Inexorable

Elegant but too afraid to take risks

&quot;Inexorable&quot; is one of those thrillers that, even without reinventing the genre, manages to hold the viewer&apos;s attention from start to finish. Fabrice du Welz delivers an engaging story, visually stunning cinematography, and performances that carry the film flawlessly, yet there&apos;s still the lingering feeling that it could have delivered more.

Right from the start, it&apos;s impossible not to highlight the film&apos;s elegant and meticulous cinematography. Every frame feels carefully composed, creating a tense, refined, and at times suffocating atmosphere. The classical-music-based score reinforces this immersion beautifully. There&apos;s a particularly striking moment when one of the characters dances to a rock track, creating a delightful contrast with the film&apos;s otherwise austere tone.

The cast is excellent. The performances are emotionally charged and deeply affecting. There are moments of genuine tension that keep your nerves on edge, showcasing the director&apos;s remarkable control over pacing and suspense.

However, the script plays it a bit too safe. While solid and well-constructed, it lacks boldness. The film builds strong momentum through its first two acts, but the third act doesn&apos;t quite reach the expected climax, becoming somewhat predictable and less intense than it should have been. The erotic elements, which could have added another layer of complexity, also fall short of their potential.

All in all, Inexorable is an elegant and absorbing thriller that fails to fully surprise. You can&apos;t help but feel it could have gone further and had it done so, it might have easily stood among the best thrillers of recent years.
