Critics Consensus

Putting Ben Foster's talent for playing men on the edge to good dramatic use, Sharp Corner is an unsettling psychological thriller that might make audiences crack from nerves even before its anxious antihero.

Manuel Betancourt

Variety

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.

Barry Hertz

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.

It's a film surrounded by a disturbing atmosphere and a sustained, slowly brewing tension that keeps the viewer on edge. However, for some viewers unfamiliar with films at this pace, the plot may seem repetitive... [Full review in Spanish]

Ben Foster played this weird little guy effortlessly. It is a very strange movie about a very strange topic with a very strange little man. Not a theater watch but def a streaming watch.

P.o.s. No likable characters. The wife is pretty awful. More could've been done. Even the kid is a sh!thead. I get the suspense of not having accidents, but it robs the film of interest. At first it was too idealistic, then too realistic. I wouldn't wipe myass with the receipt for this film. The high ratings are despicable.

Hated everything about this movie. Main character was FAR too interested in people dying and his wife didn't seem to care about fighting for her husband at all. I hated the main character enough that I wanted him to get hit by one of the cars he was far too interested in, to the point that he let everything else in his life collapse around him. Ending was garbage too, where he proves that he CAN save a life, after attempting to cause the situation in the first place. Whupee, he's now a hero, having rescued someone from a crash he might have helped cause. That's nearly 2 hours of my life I wish I could get back.

This movie was just terrible. None of the characters were likable and something was off about the time line. The wife was a terrible person and the husband needed to stick up for himself (and he never did). The ending was truly disappointing, as well. Overall, 0/5 Stars. I highly recommend you don't waste your time or money on this awful movie.

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 ...
