Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

Critics loved it (93% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime-drama fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Prisoners or Gone Baby Gone, start here.
The mood: Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off: It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

In the dense and murky woodlands of provincial Hungary, the search for a child murderer drags a once-respected detective into an all-consuming obsession enshrouded by irresolution and despair, even long after he has been taken off the case. What emerges is not a crime story, but a harrowing venture through the darkness of the human soul.
