   Is 'the desperate hour' a real-time thriller?

   • Shot with small-scale ingenuity during the pandemic, “The Desperate Hour” is a minimalist “topical” thriller. A lot of it consists of the camera, hand-held, right up at Amy’s face, or surveying the woods, with the suspense music pounding. It’s meant to be “real time” suspense, and Naomi Watts, there’s no question, goes all out.

   Is 'desperate hour' a good movie?

   • The Desperate Hour depends on the traumatic resonance of school shootings to create urgency and dread, but the filmmakers seem unwilling to deal with the realities involved. The film is sharp on the specifics of what’s happening at the school, at least within the confines of its plot, but vague to the point of caricature about why it’s happening.
