Abounds in psychological suspense and plays like a mystery film, even though the mystery at hand may be purely one of the human heart.
Though Signs & Wonders loses its bubbles and runs flat in its anticlimactic final moments, it's far more inventive and demanding than any movie of recent memory.
The best performance is by Rampling. (The) camera hangs on her, knowing that nothing escapes those wise, sad-lidded eyes.
Offers up keys and cakes and plunges its characters down a deep rabbit hole.
Skarsgard's performance is bold and raw (and reminiscent of vintage Jack Lemmon in its earnestness).
Pretension looms, and for many the web of symbolism will be too thick. But Rampling, to her credit, helps hold the nuthouse together.
Filled with voyeuristic shots as the camera peers through picket fences and windows and around corners; the film looks as if it were shot with a surveillance camera from a 7-Eleven
