The Hunt Review: 8 Ups & 5 Downs

6. It's Under 90 Minutes

Look, this might sound like a criticism of the film's longevity potential or its staying power, but it absolutely isn't. Because there's a craft to making something 90 minutes long and not leaving the audience wanting a lot more.

As any good writer will have been told at some point, brevity is an art. It's always as much about what you don't say as what you do and that's why 90 minutes (in this case 89 minutes) movies are a great thing.

The pace slows a little after the start, inevitably, but the story still zips along with revelations and there's not really any fat on the beast.
