Sinekatalog’s take

Atom Egoyan's debut feature follows a young man who joins another family as their long-lost son after an experiment in video therapy. Offbeat and cool, with Arsinée Khanjian, it is a witty early look at identity and substitution.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
