On her birthday, 11-year-old Angeliki jumps off the balcony to her death with a smile on her face. An investigation is started as to the reason for this apparent suicide, but the family keeps insisting that it was an accident.
Part of the intriguing Greek new wave of brutal cinema that rages against the country’s current woes, but not one of the movement’s best.
Chillingly controlled.
A commanding, troubling domestic horror that should launch a long career for Avranas.
A very well orchestrated movie, but it's all a little familiar.
A tale of abuse and denial set in a claustrophobic Athens apartment shows real technique but tips into the bizarre.
This is a stark, joyless tale, but one that is very well directed by Alexandros Avranas. It has quite a kick.
Pitched between the unforgiving austerity of Michael Haneke’s more prescriptive work and the oddball grimness of Giorgos Lanthimos’s Dogtooth.
This portrait of a well-to-do Greek family with hellish secrets is hard to watch.
