DVD Description

This controversial and daring film from director Lynne Stopkewich (Kissed) focuses on the simple, yet complex, life of a woman who yearns for more than her humdrum existence offers. Leila (Molly Parker - Six Feet Under) is bored. Married and working shifts as a clerk in a dilapidated motel, she is secure but unfulfilled. Craving change and excitement, she agrees to meet with a lonely male guest in the privacy of his room. In spite of the reputation she gets amongst the staff, Leila begins a torrid affair with a regular guest. However, his affections soon take on a more sinister aspect and Leila’s dreams become a terrifying nightmare. Featuring a truly outstanding performance from Molly Parker, this powerful and uncompromising film is sure to unnerve and unsettle as it probes deep into the darkest recesses of human nature.

4.0 out of 5 stars Parker's descent, 26 Aug 2006
By strawdog (durham, uk) - See all my reviews
Lynne Stopkewich's second film, 'Suspicious River', like her first, 'Kissed', is built around a remarkable performance by the utterly fearless Molly Parker.

Parker's character 'Leila' is a bored, emotionally detached hotel clerk who prostitutes herself to guests passing through the desultory backwater town of Suspicious River. Leila is disconnected from her husband but strikes up a rapport with a young local girl. The two watch a pair of swans on the river, the birds' awaited migration filling them with some dread.

Leila is drawn to Gary, a 'client' (chillingly played by Callum Keith Rennie) who alternates between abusiveness and tenderness, therby tightening the sado-erotic knot between them.

From then on its a downward spiral as Leila falls prey to Gary's mind games, leading to a disturbing outcome that also reveals the (fairly obvious) link between Leila and the young girl.

This is a difficult, subtly sordid film, but rewarding nonetheless if you're not averse to the dark and transgressive. Additionally Parker's coldly impressive performance is unmissable.
