...a lurid revenge story but filtered through an arthouse sensibility, peppered with stillness and deglamourised violence.

...this viscerally intelligent thriller takes a new stab at an old genre with refreshingly distressing results.

Saulniers andra långfilm är ett gripande och lågmält hämnd-drama som griper tag orderingången hjärteroten. Inte minst beroende på den osannolika ”antihjälten” Dwight, utsökt tolkad och skapad av Macon Blair!
