Unique C @uniquecliches 14h The premise of the movie is interesting, and it has a few good moments. Overall, however, the movie drags on for far too long. And while the adjuster, played by Elias Koteas, is somewhat likable, nearly all of the other characters are very difficult to swallow. Arsinée Khanjian’s character, Hera, the adjuster’s wife, is particularly boring and tedious. Granted, I am not a big fan of Khanjian’s acting in English. she is considerably better when performing in French. The movie would be considerably better if it were shorter and more tightly centered on the adjuster.

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 Read all reviews
