A middle-aged French woman, Marjorie (Charlotte Rampling), is betrayed by her American husband, Alec (Stellan Skarsgard) while they are living abroad in Athens with their two children. In turn, Marjorie begins an affair with an anti-government journalist.

Abtruse, delicately constructed and thoughtful... an arty Euro-flick with an almost entirely emotional mystery and pay-off.

Feels like a film that could have been shot by Nicolas Roeg.

Nossiter deserves kudos for being willing to tell stories about characters that aren’t twentysomething hard bodies, but rather mature adults.

Rampling, to her credit, helps hold the nuthouse together.

There's a potentially good film struggling to get out of an overly self-conscious director's grip here.

Signs takes us into Alec's confused head, and, although it can be disturbing there, it's never dull.

Until it devolves into what seems like a quasi-surreal Fatal Attraction ... offers a stark, spooky portrait of family fracture and loss.

For all its ambition and richness of style, Signs & Wonders never shows us what's inside Alec.

I hate to drag out that word again, but it's seriously needed here: pretentious.
