    Without question, the best crime movie of the year--and one of the best movies of any sort now playing.

    This is one terrific thriller with several wicked tricks up its sleeve, each more satisfying than the last.

    Wonderfully acted and energetically filmed, and in fact it partly echoes a real-life pedophilia scandal that rocked Belgian society to its foundations in the '90s.

    Both De Bouw and Decleir are superb.
