This spare drama about the aftermath of war goes only so far on the strength of its sincerity, carefulness and good intentions.
Top CriticThe north-of-the-border setting promises fresh perspectives but local novelty can't disguise universal clichés, despite Dillahunt's memorably haunted star turn.
With quiet intensity, this contained drama feels like a stage play with its intimate approach and limited cast and settings. It also has a strong thematic kick that's both emotional and political, without ever being preachy.
...often more effective as an actor's showcase than as a fully realized cinematic experience...
The story shapes itself into a sophisticated psychological thriller where suspense is everything. Who will deal with the outsider?
