Our take

Generally, you have us already at “cop movie,” but this film’s proposal is even more tantalizing: A mystery in a part of Greece rarely seen in cinema, with Dogtooth and The Lobster’s Angeliki Papoulia as an out-of-control police chief. A unique, unpredictable take on a small town gone corrupt.
