Dark Waters (2019)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.39:1 126m
Director: Todd Haynes
Cast: Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway, Tim Robbins, Bill Camp, Victor Garber
Synopsis:
A Cincinnati corporate defence attorney takes on the case of a West Virginia farmer whose land has been contaminated by DuPont chemical industries, initially because it is where his grandmother lives. It is a case that will take up much of his professional and family time for years to come.
Review:
Sober, unsensational legal drama that enfolds in long breaths to reveal a national scandal of global proportions. Ruffalo is scrubbed down to appear the hunched, humdrum lawyer who gets precious little thanks and certainly scant money in exchange for his years of advocacy. Haynes similarly offers us little in the way of visual window dressing, wisely opting to let the facts speak for themselves.
