Frankly i cannot add anything of value to this heart wrenching gritty factual telling . As i state above hand held gives a sensation of
tension that we the viewer are actually in the scene ourselves. The man or woman whose review states that he or she could not continue
viewing , as they felt uncomfortable, , maybe gave them a headache after , I think was 7 minutes of viewing. . The bottom line is in fact
that is precisely what the director wished to convey to the viewer, a feeling of unease, discomfort and even disorientation all of which
personalises the viewers sensation and comprehensive relationship with the narrative ! That method is used to add tension and it seems
for the viewer in question the director used that tactic wisely and proof in the eating , that resulted in a successful artistic decision !
No intention to insult or upset anyone , the bottom line is , " if you cannot take the heat, you had better leave the kitchen !!!! " It takes a brave cameraman and an artistic director to know precisely when to use hand held , as seasoned professionals they should both be fully aware , in advance of first hour and day of filming , having discussed every scene prior to each days shoot , precisely what, how, when and justifiably why to shoot every scene with what are the intentions for whatever they decide , and sometimes , flexibility may lead to innovative solutions ? Albeit hand held has been used , hopefully at justifiable appropriate scenes .? In this production, it fulfilled its purpose adequately .
