The Apology is a thriller movie directed by Alison Locke, starring Anna Gunn, Linus Roache and Janeane Garofalo.
A chamber play movie – Kammerspielfilm – that relies entirely on the dialogue, performances and the secrets, the supposed many secrets….
Premise
It has been twenty years since the disappearance of her daughter and recovering alcoholic Darlene is preparing to host her family’s Christmas celebration with her best friend Gretchen. Late Christmas Eve, Jack, Darlene’s estranged ex-brother-in-law, arrives unannounced, bearing nostalgic gifts and a heavy secret. Soon, Darlene finds herself caught between reason and ruthless instinct. Trapped together by a dangerous storm, a battle of wits escalates to a violent game of revenge.
Movie Review
The story is set in a confined location, a secluded house in the woods, with few characters, and there is a story to be told. The intended tension that should be running high throughout soon dims in the first act.
