Introduction
Pablo Trapero’s English-language debut, a taut family drama adapted by Sarah Polley from David Gilbert’s eponymous novel, finds reclusive novelist A.N. Dyer summoning his two middle-aged sons to his secluded home to share some important information. The unexpected consequences of the encounter ripples outwards, unravelling relationships and leading us towards a startling revelation.
