Directed by Kriv Stenders, Boxing Day
is an extraordinary movie of one family's journey between disaster
or freedom that takes place in "real time" which is emphasized
through it's almost handheld camera cinematography.
Right from the
start, the viewer is thrown into this family turmoil as Chris
(Richard Green) who is on home detention learns a disturbing truth
about his ex-wife's partner. From the moment his former acquaintance
arrives, Owen (Stuard Clarke) who shared a shady past with Chris, he
offers him a chance to reignite his past.
Chris is caught between
the the norms of society and a past life that he found easy that
unfortunately for Chris, a plethora of guests have arrived on the
day which makes him question his very existence.
Although the movie
has its glimmers of hope, it is quite a dark film that will leave
you at times quite shocked and subdued. The special features are
also quite worthy and give you an in-depth behind the scenes of this
compelling movie.
Gripping from start to
finish!
