An abduction thriller, in competition for the Palme d'Or.

Sinekatalog’s take

Atom Egoyan's abduction thriller shuffles time and tone, and the result feels cold and confusing. It has some striking ideas about surveillance and grief, but critics found it uneven and unconvincing.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
