Sharp Corner

Great acting! Creepy movie. Yes it is a MUST WATCH!

There’s something beautifully bleak about Sharp Corner. One man, one bend in the road, and a string of car crashes—that’s it. And yet, somehow, it’s one of the most quietly gripping films of the year. Ben Foster plays a man so stripped of power in his own life that he finds purpose in disaster, scuttling out from his porch like a morbid caretaker of fate. He isn’t a hero. He just wants to feel like one.

The tone walks a razor’s edge: funny, but unnerving; grounded, but surreal. His interventions are oddly rehearsed, more performance than rescue, and there’s a strange tenderness in how he handles the injured—less about them, more about him. It’s an astonishing performance from Foster, who imbues his character with layers of internal contradiction—emasculation dressed as control, sympathy twisted by obsession. Every twitchy hand gesture and awkward smile tells you exactly what this man has lost—and what he’s clawing to reclaim.

This is Falling Down for the domesticated male: not raging at the world, but carving out meaning in the smallest, saddest way. A comment on the collapse of traditional masculinity—provider, protector, stoic rock—and what fills that void when none of those labels fit anymore. And somehow, with just one crash-prone corner of tarmac, the film captures all of that.

If you liked: Falling Down, The Assistant, Take Shelter, The Killing of a Sacred Deer.

What an odd slow burn film. I just finished and I'm like

**Watch the corner.** Simple story, very well done. What a strange descent! Enjoyed the sad unraveling of a man's stable life. Great acting and well written. _Worth watching._

What a weird little film… I enjoyed it. I didn’t notice the CGI elements that everyone has mentioned; does that mean I’m slow?

I thought this movie would be better. I was wrong… this flick was extremely slow.

A new luxury house, a good family and prospects in the company, turn out to be powerless against the idée fixe that has settled in his head. The hero wants to save people who constantly die on a sharp turn of the highway. Maybe by organizing an accident himself? It's interesting in theory, the film is boring, and the actor here needs to be more subtle?

Please please please stop using CG. One CG sequence made me burst out laughing and ruined what was a decent slow paced film. People complain about Ai being used in films, CG is the true death of cinema.

One of the most boring movies I have ever watched. A lot of nothing happening the whole movie.
