Spoiler for Major Spoilers - Kinda:
Up until the first flashback you're intrigued with where the hell it's going. You know there's something off with the lead (and I was already leaning to his sexuality) but them BAM! it becomes crystal clear. From that point on the flick is spellbinding. About halfway through things start coming into focus and then the last 30 minutes is the full reveal. One of the most heartbreaking finales I've seen in a long while.

Matthias Schoenaerts is incredible throughout. If you are a fan of DeNiro in his prime, and Thomas Hardy's darker stuff you need to check this out. It's doesn't get any better. Same goes for the technical aspects, especially the cinematography.

There were a lot of times where the atmosphere (not the plot) reminded me of both Exotica and The Secret in Their Eyes.

Great flick Mr. F. Thanks for the head's up!
