This year has given us plenty of extended one-shot sequences, from the incredible boxing match in Creed to the slightly pointless long take in Legend. Oscar-winner Birdman, in particular, showed how doing an entire film as one digitally-stitched shot can put us vividly in the driver’s seat of a dazed and confused mind. But this bold German crime drama uses one ACTUAL take to bind you into the seat of a locked vehicle going downhill, and the results are more thrilling than any of those films before it.

The sheer centripetal force of the film's vigorous technique never loses its hold.

Despite the strong performances, it’s Schipper’s single-shot conceit that makes Victoria such a bracing triumph.

A pulsating one-take thriller.

Given how much time and effort went into "Victoria," it would be nice to be able to say that the film's story is every bit as involving as its camerawork, but that is not the case.

It is a testament to the immersive immediacy of Victoria that the scale of its technical achievement only really dawns on you afterwards.
