This is an increasingly nerve-wracking fable about the lengths men whose lives are placid if just merely pleasant will go to make themselves feel needed and validated.

Globe and Mail

Canadian director Jason Buxton crafts a sometimes tense and sometimes unsteady character study that isn’t so much laced with dread as it is slathered with it.

Foster, one of the most remarkable actors in modern film, is brilliant in what might be his most unexpected performance in years.

Jason Buxton’s “Sharp Corner” is odd and unsettling, fraught with intimate anxieties.

Common Sense Media

Subtle and unsettling, this is a cautionary tale of how good intentions can quickly take a wrong turn into a deadly head-on collision with obsession.

Worth seeing for Fosters's nuanced rendering of the main character but only watching a couple slowly dissolving is depressing ans suspensless. Had he become a paramedic, there wouldn't be any story left ...

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

About the most disquieting movie I've ever seen. Brilliantly acted by Foster who slowly turns from an odd man into a very weird and bizzare man.

What a dumb. This movie is pointless. It's not a thriller or a dark comedy at all. It's more of a drama about a marriage breakdown. The husband is creepy and his wife is a b*tch. The son is annoying. The boss is an Ahole.
