Audience Reviews for Tom at the Farm

  • Aug 26, 2014
    A much more restrained Xavier Dolan after his pretentious previous film, and he displays an assured direction and firm control of this suspenseful thriller, even though the narrative seems to move too fast as the characters start to act in ways that are not always convincing.

    I don't believe that I have seen Xavier Dolan on the other side of the camera but this is a nice departure for him to direct and star in the film. the drama works at a nice steady pace as everything is revealed. I shade off a half star for the ending which keeps us a little bit too stranded.
