The Front Room

Kathryn Hunter is stellar.

Absurd to a comical degree, but it is an effectively relentless portrayal of control and power dynamics. Kathryn Hunter gives a truly astounding physical performance that adds exponentially to the film's themes. That said, the husband character is such an annoying selfish pussy that it's difficult to care about anything he may have gone through in the past. The ending is a nice tongue-in-cheek cherry on top.
