I really enjoyed this film. It’s rare to see such naturalistic acting in American filmmaking, especially when it has the potentially-sensational plot involving a cult. This plays out very realistically as the two brothers explore their relationship with one another and their past, contemplating what each should do next. These actors work well together, and the film has an overall pleasantly-eerie vibe. There’s lots of scenes filmed in soft, relaxing lighting, the beautiful house surrounded by trees and seemingly blissful people, contrasted by a nagging and strange tension that builds quite nicely. There’s some nuanced spookiness, curious motives, and a slightly “off” friendly hippy vibe that makes a perfect setting for something a little more mystical.
Don’t take the advice of the first reviewer and “fast forward” through the entire story just to get to the end. If you don’t have the patience to get absorbed in a story like this and let it unfold, just watch something you’d prefer with a fast pace. This is an excellent film and a companion to the same director’s “Resolution” (which I didn’t care for as much but is nonetheless also a good film).
