Joel Edgerton and Sean Harris in The Stranger (2022)

Review by v-macri

The Stranger

9/10

Incredibly haunting film

I think the low ratings are from people who can't sit still for longer than 4 minutes. This film has outstanding acting, fantastic cinematography and use of sound. It being based on a true crime case in Australia, makes it so much more heart wrenching. Viewers who aren't familiar with the case may not connect with the story as much, but every time they spoke about the victim I pictured poor Daniel's face.

Yes the film is slow, yes it's fairly long, but true film lovers will have no trouble watching it. If you're out for a cheap, quick thrill then maybe skip this, but be aware you're missing out on an artfully executed film. My recommendation would be to put your phone down, sit back, and soak in the atmospheric piece. It's not action or jump scare packed but it is incredibly tense and haunting in the way real life can be.

Again, shout out to the stellar performances from Joel Edgerton & Sean Harris, truly gripping!
