Our take
The archetypal story of an outsider upending the values of a middle-class family is revised anew in this uncanny thriller by Alex van Warmerdam. A modernist fable on the subject of evil and domesticity (with welcome shades of dark humor!), Borgman is an experience you’re unlikely to ever shake.
