Highly Overrated But Still Good

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

The only reason I found out about this film was because it was listed at the top of my Comcast On Demand in the "A's" I am, quite frankly, surprised that this title has flown under the radar because it's that good. I guess with the ridiculous amount of content out there, it's much harder for strong, solid films to stand out especially when they aren't star-studded. But still, Judd Hirsch is a solid name, no? He's amazing in this film and I wonder why more wasn't made of this performance when he's been laying low from cinema and doing mostly sitcoms. I will say this much - if you love great suspense and mystery and wonderful acting, give this a chance. It starts off a little slow but once it gets cooking, it's under your skin and doesn't let go. With an ending I felt was every bit as satisfying as THE USUAL SUSPECTS, this movie does deliver the goods of a genre bending thriller in the vein of THE CELEBRATION. PS....There's a WOW...EMBARRASSING REVIEW which is clearly written by someone who has a lack of knowledge when it comes to true cinematic psychological thrillers. I think this person probably would've written the same lame headline for Hitchcock's REAR WINDOW.

This is a compelling story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed all aspects of this film and would highly recommend it. The acting is superb with Judd Hirsch leading a well cast ensemble of actors through an intricate plot. The film is dark and intense without rising to the level of a "horror" movie. The story builds steadily to its climax when all the pieces fit together in a finely crafted manner. I viewed this film twice at the Palm Beach International Film Festival in March 2015 and it was well received by the audience. I hope it goes into wide release so that many movie fans will have an opportunity to experience and appreciate this excellent work.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I heard about this film. I love the actors that were cast in the film so that helped with my interests. Though the topic is very intense and not necessarily easy to handle, the movie really captured the intense family struggle in a subtle escalating manner. As the movie progresses the issues become much clearer and the director really took his time allowing the story to lead the way. I found the topic so intense that I began wondering how the mind of the writer had come up with the details. Very interesting. If you are fan of good dramas and really good acting this is a film for you.

As producer and curator of The NY Film Critics Series I chose to screen TRR for our groups due to its mysterious vibe of the unmanifested. What I mean by that is that it appeared that the filmmaker(s) approached this project with a vision in mind and that the film ended up with exponential layers. It is a known fact that at some point every movie takes on a life of its own, but in this case, it is entirely clear that the director was keenly aware of when to get out of the way.I strongly recommend that when viewing this film, that one should experience it in the same spirit. When watching it, clear your head with no expectations. Do not try to draw your own conclusions or predict what may happen next. Allow the work to wash over you as a willing vessel, placing your human on vacation for 90 minutes or so.mark ehrenkranz NYFCS series producer http://nyfilmcriticsseries.com/
