Another little Winona Ryder gem - not flawless or mind-blowing, but engaging & twisty
19 August 2022
Both the two movies wonderful Winona Ryder's made in the past seven years are hidden gems, and while low-key thriller "Gone In The Night" isn't a patch on "Destination Wedding" it's still original, compelling, well paced & nicely played. Imperfect couple Ryder & John Gallagher Jnr get double-booked at a mountain AirBnB cabin (owned by Dermot Mulroney (good)) with hipsters Brianne Tju (superb) & Owen Teague... from where Gallagher disappears, apparently with Tju. Despite some holes, the script (from co-writers Matthew Derby & debut director Eli Horowitz) cleverly cuts timelines to layer up its satisfyingly (if not mind-blowingly) twisty tale. Good stuff.
