Sundance 2022: 20 Films You Need To Know About
16. Resurrection
One of the festival's most polarising offerings this year was Resurrection, a mesmerising psychological thriller in which a woman, Margaret (Rebecca Hall), believes she's being stalked by a figure from her traumatic past, David (Tim Roth).
Following up her Oscar-worthy performance in last year's The Night House, Rebecca Hall is once again magnetic as a traumatised woman put through the wringer.
Writer-director Andrew Semans does a fantastic job mining the anxious ambiguity of the central scenario, aided by not only Hall's stunning turn but also sublimely creepy work from a rarely-better Tim Roth.
This is another film you're better off watching without reading too much, and while some of its wilder second-half storytelling choices won't work for everyone, this is a bold, provocative offering from a boundary-pushing artist and well worth being sought out by adventurous viewers.
