So it\u2019s quite something to say that even her knack for the dignified and intelligent portrayal of mental and behavioral instability meets its Waterloo with Andrew Semans\u2019 \u201cResurrection,\u201d a psychological thriller that starts off promisingly before swerving into serious (and sadly self-serious) derangement. It winds up several stops north of bonkers, in a finale that shoots for transgressive, psycho-biological role-reversal, but plays like 1994\u2019s Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy \u201cJunior\u201d given a torture-porn makeover.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, Margaret (Hall) is an aspirational figure. With a glass-walled office at her lucrative pharma job, a well-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointed apartment and intimate yet no-strings sex-on-demand with married co-worker Peter (Michael Esper), she is also a doting mom to 17-year-old Abbie (Grace Kaufman), who is about to head off to college. (On one level \u201cResurrection\u201d can be read as the mother of all empty-nest breakdowns.) She\u2019s so together, in fact, that we are introduced to her dispensing sensible, tough-love advice to callow intern Gwyn (Angela Wong Carbone), whose boyfriend belittles her, then sneers that she can\u2019t take a joke when she complains. \u201cSadists never understand why other people don\u2019t enjoy their sadism as much as they do,\u201d says Margaret, firmly but kindly encouraging Gwyn to stand up for herself.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the leap to \u201csadism\u201d seems premature, though we will soon find out she knows whereof she speaks. Still, the exchange establishes Margaret\u2019s no-nonsense credentials as a strong, admirably supportive woman. So what if she\u2019s a little overprotective toward Grace, never having allowed her to ride a bike and insisting on constant check-ins? So what if she lets slip the odd hardbitten homily about toughness and self-reliance and seems faintly derisive of weakness? Otherwise, she\u2019s a credit and an inspiration to the sisterhood.<\/p>\n<p>But omens are gathering. Margaret has started to draw again for the first time in 22 years. Abbie discovers a human molar in her wallet one day. Then, at a conference, Margaret spots David (Tim Roth), a man she hasn\u2019t seen for two decades, since she escaped the monstrously manipulative clutches of a relationship that \u201ctoxic\u201d doesn\u2019t even begin to cover. She im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely suffers a full-blown panic attack. Suddenly he\u2019s everywhere, and when finally she musters the courage to confront him, his ghastly smile shows he\u2019s missing a tooth.<\/p>\n<p>This is a solid #MeToo thriller set-up, classed up by the ever-classy Hall and Roth\u2019s sinister underplaying, by Wyatt Garfield\u2019s somber, elegant shooting style and by the stabbing strings of Jim Williams\u2019 unsettling score. But then the exact nature of David and Margaret\u2019s long-ago relationship is revealed, in a seven-minute monologue delivered by Hall in one unbroken close-up: a distractingly actorly exercise that is treated with the dramaturgical reverence of a speech from \u201cThe Cherry Orchard,\u201d despite the lunacy of its revelations. In one of the very rare instances of a relatable reaction, Margaret\u2019s convenient confidante Gwyn stutters, \u201cIs this a joke?\u201d before tottering away, doubtless making the \u201cshe crazy\u201d hand gesture the second she turns the corner.<\/p>\n<p>It is not a joke. Nothing is a joke in \u201cResurrection,\u201d which takes itself so seriously in the commission of its increasingly bananas plot that all the craziness can\u2019t even be said to be that entertaining \u2014 the odd surreal image aside. (There is, to be fair, a grotesquely convincing roasted baby.) You can see how this same material might make for enjoyably lurid horror in other hands. But Semans, directing from his own Black List-ed script, goes hard for importance and topical, trauma-survivor relevance, despite Margaret\u2019s violation amounting to cult-brainwashing so severe it\u2019s genuinely hard to relate to, and impossible to see how she can have suppressed its psychotic, delusional influence so successfully for so long.<\/p>\n<p>It makes Margaret a dubious-at-best avatar for abuse survivors, notwithstanding the script\u2019s best efforts to turn her into an avenging virago. \u201cMen! You can\u2019t stick your dick in anything without deciding that you love it or you hate it,\u201d she snarls at the hapless Peter, in a sequence framed as a meme-able moment that will have women high-fiving in recognition and men wincing at having been so exposed. The problem is, like a lot of the observations around the toxicity of men, it only <em>sounds<\/em> pithy. If you give it half a thought, it appears to be a recommendation that men stick their dicks into things to which they are indifferent, which is a weird thing to wish for.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the theme of maternal self-sacrifice is done little justice by the straight-faced utterance of Gothic melodrama lines like, \u201cWhen you have children of your own, you\u2019ll understand\u2026 You become disposable. <em>Gloriously<\/em> disposable.\u201d Everyone is terribly committed and there\u2019s a handful of memorable moments. Mostly, however, the muddled, manic \u201cResurrection\u201d serves as a reminder that if you\u2019re looking for a Sundance movie in which a psychologically disintegrating Rebecca Hall is convincingly menaced by the specters of guilt and trauma past, last year\u2019s undervalued \u201cThe Night House\u201d is available to stream right now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
