The room \u2014 make that the entire 40-plus story hotel, and the 111 other hotels in the luxe Porterfield chain \u2014 belongs to Hal Porterfield (Christopher Abbott), the founder\u2019s son, a self-loathing lump in pleated khakis who is in line to become the successor of a billion dollar company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201c<em>Presumptive<\/em> successor,\u201d Rebecca says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cSuccessor,\u201d Hal rebuts, with middling conviction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Hal\u2019s ascension to power hinges on Rebecca \u2014 at least, so she claims \u2014 and his quavering insistence that he can do the job on his own doesn\u2019t convince her (or us) otherwise. Unlike Hal, Rebecca was raised in poverty. (She didn\u2019t even see a dentist until she turned 19.) What clout does she believe she holds? The film has the confidence and generosity to allow the audience to ask its own questions before it makes its first (of many) giddily upending reveals. In essence, screenwriter Micah Bloomberg has ushered the audience into his lair, placed us atop a pile of lush rugs, and now pulls them out from under us one after the other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    From the moment Rebecca crosses the hotel room\u2019s threshold, it\u2019s readily clear that she possesses every quality that Hal lacks. She\u2019s crisp, decisive, and commanding, stalking their quarters like a predatory bird. But Wigon seeds clues that she\u2019s not the woman she\u2019s pretending to be. First, you might notice that her blond bob is a wig. Then comes the creeping sense that their conversation is screwy. What starts as a formal interview quickly becomes personal, then impolite, then plain wrong. Within minutes, it\u2019s admitted that both characters are acting out a play, and not long after, Wigon will reveal what the characters already know: Hal has hired Rebecca as a dominatrix, and this humiliating scene they\u2019re enacting is his prewritten fantasy. But the twist is just \u201cSanctuary\u2019s\u201d opening gambit, a hand the film plays early to warn everyone to stay on high alert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Look closely whenever cinematographer Ludovica Isidori moves her active, intelligent camera. As she pans over to the <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\">script<\/a> pages of this scene-within-a-scene, tossed into a corner of the bathroom, those who read fast will see that Rebecca is reciting her right lines, but refusing to obey her stage directions. It\u2019s a hint that she believes she knows Hal better than he knows himself. This might be true. But it\u2019s also true that neither she, nor he, have exactly planned out the wreckage that will ensue once Rebecca discovers a chance to squeeze even more cash from her client \u2014 and in turn, Hal\u2019s would-be CEO realizes that this night is his chance to see if his employee has done her job and empowered him with boss-level courage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    What comes next is a showdown between her force and his financial clout, between labor and the lordly class. \u201cI-I pay you,\u201d Hal stutters, as he attempts to redefine their roles and put himself in charge. But who is he under the bluster? The dweeb we\u2019ve seen scrub a toilet on her demand? Or the spoiled scion who truly can order her downfall as easily as we\u2019ve seen him ring up room service for a steak, two martinis, a bottle of wine, a hot fudge sundae, and a Belgian waffle with passion fruit jam. Hal looks soft. But greed and privilege are in his bones, and the fun of Abbott\u2019s performance is seeing his character strain to transform his puppyish features into those of a wolf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    This is a terrifically nasty thriller about seizing control, over others and over oneself. Wigon proves to have a great grasp on it, as well; his assuredness is half of the film\u2019s success. In look and style, sound and execution, Wigon\u2019s hand is felt on every frame \u2014 a steadiness that\u2019s essential when each scene is constructed on a sand dune of constantly shifting emotional dynamics. One moment, the characters are using a formal corporate dialect (\u201cPleasure doing business\u201d) over a sophisticated piano score that could have played for Ilsa and Rick in \u201cCasablanca\u201d; the next moment, they\u2019re smashing lamps. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    While it\u2019s tough to buy the characters\u2019 final choices \u2014 and the climax feels more tidy than correct \u2014 the details that build us toward it are precisely right, from the long, slow squeak of Rebecca\u2019s finger as it investigates a mantle for dust, to the exactitude of Isidori\u2019s camerawork as it observes Rebecca enter a room as a blur and stride forward into sharp focus. Qualley can play all angles of her character from ferocious to vulnerable. She does for the film what Rebecca does for Hal: grab a fiction by its neck and will it into credibility by her own bravado.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/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.
