Michel Franco's thriller about a wealthy family on vacation is confidently unsettling
From the opening shot of caught fish gasping their last breath in the tropical heat, followed by Roth on a boat in a trancelike stare while a young man and woman frolic in the ocean before him, we can sense there’s an unspoken dissatisfaction beneath the lazy smiles of the Bennett family’s luxury vacation. Then Alice Bennett — whose brittle demeanor suggests somebody who struggles to relax — gets a distressing phone call from home, and the foursome’s trip is abruptly ended.
Franco’s tightly controlled, vaguely sinister scenario — not unlike something Muriel Spark or Georges Simenon might have conjured up — doles information out gradually, allowing us to assume at first the kind of strained relationship Alice and Neil have, when in reality it’s something else.
