Thom says: “I’ve only seen 2 of Canadian director Nguyen’s mediocre fare (WAR WITCH & 2 LOVERS & A BEAR) and this turgid effort won’t add to his appeal. It might well be that the plot went right over my

Director: Joachim Trier
Starring: AmyRyan | Devin Druid | Gabriel Byrne | Isabelle Huppert | Jesse Eisenberg | Ruby Jerins
