Australian crime dramas have always kept me on edge despite their knack for the implication of violence rather than actually showing it on the big screen.

Wright's peculiar style of narration, unraveling the story in a somewhat unconventional style, actually amplifies the impact the story leaves on the audience. As for the score and cinematography, a better job couldn't have been possibly done as the atmospheric style totally suits the storyline. Even though Joel Edgerton delivers an acceptable performance as a character living a dual life, one must admit that it is Sean Harris who carries the whole movie with his nuanced yet powerhouse delivery. One tiny bit of criticism: I am sure they could have come up with a much better and more intriguing title than "The Stranger".… Expand

Excellent atmosphere, really unnerving in a good way. Slow burn with a unique twist.

Este thriller policiaco es de aquellos que juegan con la paciencia del espectador, aunque para bien, con un desarrollo pausado aunque intrigante, con secuencias casi silenciosas y un final difícil de predecir que deja más preguntas que respuestas.

Its style reminded me of Villeneuve's Prisoner, which is not necessarily a compliment, but as far as it goes, the director, despite being new to this, manages to give a certain distinction to what he does.

I was expecting a more oppressive film taking into account what its plot explores, however I like how it handles the ups and downs of its main characters, Joel Edgerton and Sean Harris who are excellent in this story, even when the script in some passages does not make it very clear what is the purpose of their path, even so the film is more than captivating if you love a good slow burner.

It is very sad to know that this movie will be lost very soon in the Netflix catalog. I definitely would have paid a ticket to see it.… Expand

O filme tem uma excelente atmosfera, rodado na estrada. Conta com uma edição não-linear para sustentar o suspense.

Conta com uma edição não-linear para sustentar o suspense. A questão é que é tudo muito previsível, porém, o filme foca não no desfecho, mas no processo, acertadamente muito bem feito e realista. Ao optar por cenas minimalistas sem abrir mão do realismo, o filme acerta no tom, vemos um homem comum que cometeu um crime terrível, mas graças à mão equilibrada do diretor, acompanhamos a história sem grandes sentimentos de repugnância.… Expand
