4.5 out of 5

Key Performances:

  Javier Cámara

  Sverre Anker Ousdal
  Sarah Polley
  Tim Robbins
Movie Haiku:Another triumphant performance by Polley as a withdrawn woman slow to reveal the trauma buried away in her past. Writer/director Coixet develops characters who are deeply engaging: we want to know their secrets & we’re shocked & sad when the answers eventually pour forth. Patience well rewarded!
