Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Patrick Cremona
Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan star in this gripping, thorny moral drama as a deeply conservative religious couple who have relocated with their five young children from Romania to a small village in Norway. Their strict disciplinary approach soon sees them at odds with the progressive locals, and before long an investigation is opened against them into accusations of child abuse. Romanian writer/director Cristian Mungiu keeps the matter of their guilt deliberately opaque. Though a master of realism, he establishes a slightly off-kilter atmosphere that complements the unsettling case, with the film functioning both as a fascinating conversation piece and a first-rate work of thoroughly engrossing drama. The riveting, dialogue-heavy trial scenes are reminiscent of Anatomy of a Fall, with Mungiu's sharp dialogue and unshowy direction - full of long takes and visually interesting blocking - expertly drawing us into the legal proceedings. It's all richly compelling; a culture-war drama that's provocative without being sensationalist.
