I finished Adolescence last night. Wanted to let it percolate for a bit before typing up my thoughts. 

From a purely technical perspective, it's an absolute masterpiece. Four episodes shot at four different points across a 13 month timeline all in a single shot throws up a multitude of limitations. The camera follows characters from one scene to the next, sometimes transitioning from one actor to another to provide a natural segmentation where a cut would usually reside, it goes in and out of houses and office rooms, and school classrooms, it circles our protagonists in close up yet never impedes (not once did I catch an actor breaking the fourth wall), and at one jaw-dropping point in the last episode, it mounts the outside of a car for a near ten journey along the motorway to a DIY store.

There is nothing more powerful in this world than words.

Oh wow. I love those super super long cuts. I'll have to watch now. Ty ser
