    Hoskins portrays the mama's boy from hell. You know, Hoskins is a brilliant actor who doesn't get enough credit. Cassidy is a vulnerable girl looking for a father figure. They meet, and Egoyan proceeds to illuminate the social debris left by dysfunctional parent-child relationships. Unfortunately, it rings so true that such an interaction would be destabilizing in its dullness, which Egoyan faithfully reports. Expand

    It's an Egoyan film, and therefore by definition worth seeing.
  2. Everything seems to fall into place according to earlier Egoyan films, which suggests that you're likelier to enjoy this one if you haven't seen the others.

    As is typical with Egoyan, the structure is complicated and the layers of cinematic technique and texture are even more so.
