An eerie and cold rendition of a horrific trial. The lead characters are pretty interesting, as their motives and actions are quite enigmatic, but the somewhat dry styling and slow pacing don't do the film any favors. It's as if Plante didn't know whether to go the arthouse or genre route and as a result, the film feels a bit conflicted.
That's my main critique, as the individual parts are better than the overall result. The performances are strong, the presentation is clean, and the characters are interesting. But the film started to drag and the build-up to the finale felt a little out of place. Still worth a watch if you want something a little unusual.
