One of 2016's underrated films


The Childhood of a Leader builds and builds like gathering storm clouds ready to burst open at any moment. A gruesome denouement gives way to a cryptic, unsettling epilogue. Through it all, actor-turned-director Brady Corbert shows a real skill for making the mundane seem ominous — images of coat racks, or domed glass ceilings, or elevators have never quite seemed so spooky as they do here. Scott Walker’s absolutely amazing, bombastic score intruders through the proceedings, creating a sort of art-house horror film on the banality of evil. See this movie ASAP. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/features/the-most-underrated-films-of-2016/
