The Sinkholes (2012)

Les gouffres
2012 | France | Antoine Barraud | ★★★

Antoine Barraud's mildly effective The Sinkholes is an abstruse art house drama about fear and anxiety, featuring naturally lit handheld photography, nightmarishly enigmatic plotting, and a committed central performance from Nathalie Boutefeu.
