Overview
Sylvia is a recovering alcoholic. She’s been clean for 13 years, holds down a steady job and enjoys a good relationship with her teenage daughter. Attending a high school reunion she encounters Saul, who unsettles her so much she leaves the event. But he follows her home and the next morning Sylvia is forced to face up to troubling ghosts from her past. Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard are excellent in this taut drama, which is as precise and chilling as Franco’s previous work.
