I hadn't even heard of this 2019 movie titled "1BR" prior to getting to sit down and watch it here in 2020.
Now, I am not familiar with the work of David Marmor, but I will say that this movie definitely turned out to be interesting. The movie was nicely directed and definitely turned out to be entertaining.
The storyline was good, although it felt a little bit rushed. I mean, it was rather quickly that Sarah (played quite well by Nicole Brydon Bloom) managed to convince her captors of her assumed-intention of remaining in the community. But other than that, it was definitely an enjoyable movie.
The acting in "1BR" was quite good, especially from lead actress Nicole Brydon Bloom, because she was fantastic in this role. Taylor Nichols, playing Jerry, definitely also performed quite well. It was a shame, however, that actress Naomi Grossman wasn't given a more important role and more on-screen time, because she definitely could have added a lot more to the movie.
I found that director David Marmor had an interesting approach with this movie, in terms of taking on a cult mentality and a twisted sense of community. I liked that about the movie.
It should be said that the ending of the movie wasn't a particularly fulfilling one. It felt a bit bland, to be honest. Not that it ruined the movie or anything, but it could have been ended in a more wholesome manner. It just felt too cliché.
My rating of "1BR" is a six out of ten stars.
