Our take

Premiering at the Quinzaine in 2013, winning both the festival’s FIPRESCI Prize, and, perhaps best of all, enviable comparisons to the early work of Joel and Ethan Coen, this impeccably lean, mean revenge-thriller from Saulnier (Green Room) announced the arrival of a great new filmmaking talent.
