Why watch this film?

With the same meticulousness for fabrics and scissors of the titular character - brilliantly portrayed by Mark Rylance - Graham Moore (Oscar-winning screenwriter for 'The Imitation Game') executes his feature film debut as a director, 'The Outfit'. The story, set in 1950s Chicago, follows an old tailor who tolerates the local mafia's gathering in his workshop, since they are his best customers. However, when two of them arrive at the place seeking refuge and involve him in an intrigue with the rival organization, the relationship starts to get tense. It is a modest and elegant thriller - in the double sense of the expression - that takes place in a single location with a cadenced rhythm, without wasting shots or cuts, and with excellent performances from a cast that, besides Rylance, includes Zoey Deutch ('Fake Influencer') and Dylan O'Brien ('Maze Runner').
