A dedicated family man becomes obsessed with saving the lives of the car accident victims on the sharp corner in front of his house – an obsession that could cost him everything.

Kristy Puchko

Mashable

A smart premise is poignantly brought to life by Foster and Smulders, making for a psychological thriller that is nerve-rattlingly tense and a family drama that is unapologetically gutting.

Tim Grierson

Screen International

The film does not give up its mysteries easily, but some fine performances and a carefully maintained tone keep viewers riveted -- all in the name of a disquieting exploration of how people find scraps of meaning in their empty lives.

What’s so thrilling about Sharp Corner, Jason Buxton’s atmospheric descent into madness, is how strongly it refuses to explain itself.

Rated: B

Louisa Moore

Screen Zealots

With a gripping narrative that evolves from mundane to horrific, the film offers a thought-provoking study of a psychological breakdown. The tone is so unsettling that it makes for a very distressing moviegoing experience.

Peter Gray

The AU Review

It’s a psychological look at misplaced valiance that may take the scenic route towards its dedicated destination, but every stop on the way doesn’t take away from its own importance and delight in not necessarily answering the questions it asks.

Rated: 3.5/5

Digital Journal

It’s not difficult to foresee where the story is going, but Foster’s performance and the journey to impending disaster is so gripping viewers will want to follow the path to its inevitable conclusion.
