WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

James Figueras (Bang) is a disgraced art critic whose only gimmer of hope is his enigmatic new American squeeze Berenice (Debicki).

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Art theft, greed and Mick Jagger in a villainous role all dominate this intense thriller, which benefits from its handsome cast and its intelligent script by Oscar-nominee Scott B. Smith.
