Canada's Oscar entry film concerns a professor who convinces a gardener to commit murder as revenge for the questionable death of his mother. Instead of making things better it kicks open a hornets nest of complications.
This is an intense family drama that is being told in a very deliberate manner. Designed to string us along before dropping the floor out from us this is a film where we lean in while trying to hide from the body blows we know are coming. It's all made worse by the fact that there is a point where the film turns and we are not where we expected to be. The turn is the reason that I am not going to do a big review for the film, simply because I do not want to spoil where this goes. (I've seen several reviews that have used phrasing that wrecked things)
Know that this is a solid film and very recommended.
