A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Matt Glasby

Coercive control is the spectre hanging over writer/director Andrew Semans's upsetting psychological thriller. Margaret (Rebecca Hall) seems to have her life on track. She excels at work and has a good relationship with her smart, well-adjusted daughter (Grace Kaufman). Yet there's something in her eyes that suggests a woman who's only just holding it together. And what are those cigarette burns on her back? At a conference, she sees David (Tim Roth), a figure from her distant past, and her mental health begins to unravel... For the first hour or so, Resurrection is driven by its characters, whose actions feel dictated by the realities of trauma. Hall gives a committed, convincing performance as a woman on the verge, Roth unnerves without ever becoming a caricature, and Kaufman holds it all together as the lone voice of reason. Despite the film's early restraint, though, the final showdown is so generic it almost undoes an otherwise impressive achievement.
