The focal point of "Pressure" which has been seen on countless History Channel documentaries and other military programs over the years is the weather that threatened and eventually perhaps helped the D-Day invasion in Normandy. What is interesting in this film is to hyperfocus it in the decisions made in the nights before but place it in the main perspective of Team Captain Stagg (here played by a demure -- in a way -- Andrew Scott). After "Ripley", this is indeed a right turn in the best way for him because it shows his manner even when the character at the interim point is unlikable.

The aspect of many collaborations is pushing the boundaries while also doing something new. Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater have done this before. Whether the "Before" movies or, at its pinnacle, "Boyhood", they have experimented with form. Their latest "Blue Moon" is more of a staged piece following one night of a artist's journey (or deconstruction if you will).
