Winner of the prestigious Raindance Film Festival and nominated for three British Independent Film Awards, Exhibit A tells the timely story of a normal family disintegrating under financial pressure, eventually driven to the unimaginable. All is not as it seems as the King family go about their day-to-day lives oblivious of the horror to come. Dad Andy (Bradley Cole) is nursing a secret that ultimately leads to terrible consequences for them all. We witness these chilling events unfold through daughter Judith’s (Brittany Ashworth) video camera, which subsequently becomes Exhibit A. The film is inspired by the many men in real life who are known to their neighbours as devoted husbands and fathers, but for unknowable reasons suddenly decide to take drastic action to protect their loved ones. Exhibit A has left a trail of stunned audiences at festivals all over the world and won’t leave you the same person. —Warp Films_
I think she did survive, Karma Police, yeah. I think this film is too much: while the actors are great - really great - it's an ordeal to watch, it's completely over the top. Of course we watched, but we watched because we're perverted, not because it's "gripping". You know from the start what's going to happen, from the moment he 'gets his promotion' - British gritty realism yes, but a little - unsubtle, let's say.
real life is scary enough...... One question I am left with. did the daughter survive at the end? She appeared to be breathing...
I thought there were a lot of really smart, original ideas in this film. The climax didn't quite hold together as entirely believable for me, though maybe I just don't have enough experience with people like the characters in the film to understand them fully. Worth watching, would probably mention to British friends.
This is a REALLY scary film. Not because it’s full of monsters or spooky goings-on, but instead it’s the dread feeling of watching a man’s personality disintegrate under stress, with ghastly results… read review
