When teenager Nicholas Barclay (Marc-André Grondin, C.R.A.Z.Y.) mysteriously resurfaces after he went missing three years ago, his sister (Emilie De Ravin, Lost) and mother (Ellen Barkin) welcome him back with open arms, but a no-nonsense FBI agent (Famke Janssen) is out to prove he’s an imposter. Working from a true story, director Jean-Paul Salomé (Female Agents) delivers an unsettling psychological thriller—featuring an unforgettable performance by Barkin—that will keep you guessing. —Tribeca Film Festival
This movie had me asking a lot of questions. What was it trying to achieve? What motivated these characters? What genre was it? Is Emilie de Ravin a spring or winter? But it doesn't matter because the movie answers none of them. For a psychological thriller (true crime? police procedural? seriously what genre is this) there is no great Aha! moment which means my emotional investment was exactly 0%. Just so empty.
