I had no idea what this film was about nor who was in it so I went in totally blind. It was a little slow to take up the pace, but the instant Maren bit her school friends finger I knew I was into it.
I didn't recognise Russel at first, or Rylance, or Sevigny! But Rylance completely blew me out of the water with his understated performance.
I've never seen Chalament act but he is such an engaging young man, he really took his part.
There were some empty spaces in the plot, but while I saw them they did not harm the film in anyway. I loved how the narrative circled the actors like vultures waiting for a rabbit to die, but never actually settling.
I am not going to rave about this film but I gave it my base 6 which is recognition of a very enjoyable film.
