Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth clash in 'Resurrection,' a psychological thriller by Andrew Semans. Our Sundance review:
We all remember that one toxic relationship right? The one that had us falling madly in love only to turn sour, poisonous, and debilitating in the long-term. Sometimes those relationships are just bad news, other times they're controlling, abusive, and seem completely inescapable.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY This perfect veneer softens for her daughter Abbie but it doesn't crack until, by chance , she sees a familiar face: David . The effect is immediate. The perfect Margaret stumbles and runs away, and in following coincidental run-ins, she bursts into flight mode, suffering from severe panic attacks.
Margaret's story, without going into details, is a painfully believable one. A story about coercive control and grooming, David is eager to slip into their roles after their reunion, ready to trade "kindnesses" from Margaret in exchange for his brand of mercy. Walk to work barefoot for a week, and I'll leave you alone, David promises. Seemingly harmless, but, as we know from Margaret's story, that's how it starts not how it ends.
The third act is where Director Andrew Semans pushes himself and takes a bold step away from what we might expect and perhaps what we want – giving us a conclusion that is full of gore, completely bizarre, and absolutely fitting for the story he is trying to tell. Coming in at an economical 103 minutes, Resurrection might be the first film of Sundance this year that I wish was just a little longer.
