Negative Positive
Title: Highbrow Sucker Punch
Review: Surprisingly few films attempt to show us believable people faced with extraordinary circumstances. In the Bedroom became a critics' darling owing to its initial movement theretoward. By the time the crisis is exposed, we're convinced we've never seen anything quite like it. The film then meditates on its own riveting magnificance for a good long while before tacking on an ending that provides resolution without context, one that is utterly shocking for its utter lack of shock. Like a Bernie Madoff investor, you'll be haunted by questions of how you'd ever been convinced to expect otherwise.
