You can feel the influence of Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos in this spellbinding thriller. In Andrew Semans’ “Resurrection,” Rebecca gives a brazing performance as Margaret, a by-the-books exec, both disciplined, and successful at what she does, who has her past coming back to haunt her. That is, until David (Tim Roth) returns, carrying with him Margaret’s horrific secrets. Semans’ devilish film builds up the dread as Margaret tries to protect her daughter from a man she believes to be absolute evil. But is he? Is this all in her head? The ambiguity sells the viewer in being throughly invested, and the effect is damn-near hypnotic, that is until Semans decides to strip the ambiguity and go full-genre in the film’s final quarter. Hall delivers a harrowing performance that cements her among the very best actresses working today. Her film may crumble by its end, but she’s unforgettable. [B/B+]
