R 9 @RT00952237 03/20/2023 It's a bit of a bizarre one, but I did really enjoy 'The Adjuster'. Words aplenty I do not have, it's just simply a very good film. The music is, in my opinion, its standout feature, as it sets the tone incredibly well - the sense of trepidation throughout is super. Elias Koteas is an excellent lead, though Arsinée Khanjian and Maury Chaykin perform just as strongly. There's a lot to take in, but it is very much worthy of your time.

See more 01/19/2014 now this one was frustrating; i've got bits and pieces swirling around in my head but no interest to piece 'em together. to borrow a phrase from someone, it was "weird for weird's sake". my least fave atom egoyan. See more 09/08/2013 It looks like Egoyan is not for me. I see the world he creates or rather the vision of our world he shows on the screen. I get the message about us being alienated and lonely, without any attachment or link even to each other or the reality really. It's just that I don't feel it. This vision in the way he pictures it doesn't get into me. See more 06/03/2013 Oh my Lord! This was a mess from start to end! This is a movie with uninteresting character, absurd (in a bad way) circumstanses and a gloomy atmosphere to top it all, just to make us think that we 're watching a David Lynch film in search of something familiar and actually great. This feel like it is Egoyan's "Matador". A dark film made by a future auteur (I haven't decided if Almodovar is actually one) who is still finding his voice and fails miserably at every turn. But at least in "Matador" there was a murder mystery to keep us reeled in! In this one the characters have their obsessions but they are not explored well enough in order to give us a good picture of their perverted nature. The film wants to show a broken, strange family that basicaly commits suicide with their everyday routine. This could have been done in a short film and we could have skipped all the turds of sequences that are found in this film. Sadly this is a bad film. See more 05/27/2011 Are you in or out? I'm in.. Maury Chaykin was fantastic. See more Read all reviews
