Convergence (2019 film)

[1] Struggling after the death of his wife and child in a car crash, successful writer Martin starts to question the circumstances of the accident after an encounter with a grieving mother at a bereavement group.

Whilst there are sequences where the drama explodes on screen, such as Lily talking about her childhood or grappling with her ex, the majority of the film feels like a contemplative piece where the viewer is palpably experiencing the grief and distress of the two central characters.

A large part of this is due to the character of Martin and the understated performance from Theobald.

"[5] In the United States, Film Threat wrote:"The gorgeous cinematography lends a dream-like quality to everything, so Convergence is an absolute stunner to watch.

Johnson balances the magical realism at play with the grounded drama the leads are going through with confidence, so neither overpowers the other.
