Locke (2014)

A man alone in a car on a highway has a very bad night. His situation is revealed over the course of a series of phone calls he makes and receives during his drive. It’s a feat that we see no flashbacks -- we have only these conversations and Hardy’s face to go on -- but we’re not lost. Our understanding shifts as does our opinion of the driver, but it’s exceptionally well-done. In the end the story may have been too slight, but I surely didn’t feel that way during the telling.
