In Margaret’s life everything is in order. She is disciplined and successful. Soon, her teenage daughter, whom Margaret raised on her own, will go to an excellent university, just as Margaret had planned. Everything is under control. At least until David comes back into his life.
‘resurrection’ is a remarkable psychological thriller that Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth magnify with their commitment and dedication. In his dual roles as writer and director, Andrew Semans presents an elegant, mature and inherently dark film that achieves something as elusive yet gratifying as it is to bother and unsettle in equal measure by keeping tension and uncertainty soaring. From the beginning and until that end, a “leap of faith” that hits to the same extent that he resolves a potentially absurd situation with the conviction and determination of those who have God on their side. And why not? After all, the concept is the concept. A brave ending but consistent with what it raises, and above all with the concerns of a film that, in the same way as films like ‘menu‘ but unlike movies like ‘The stranger‘, is not afraid to assume the consequences of taking his premise to the limit. This will earn him many enemies, of course, but also a very vivid memory and respect for posterity.
