The Square
In this thrilling neo-noir, a nightmare of unforeseen events takes place after a few fatal missteps are made by adulterous lovers in a bleak Australian town. Construction supervisor Raymond Yale, wishing to flee his monotonous marriage, becomes entangled in a romantic affair with the lovely yet troubled Carla. She presents him with a large chunk of money that her husband Smithy had stolen, suggesting that they keep it for themselves. Like so many other best laid plans, however, things don’t always go smoothly. Marking the beginning of a series of deadly errors, the couple hires professional arsonist Billy. Soon enough, a series of blackmail letters begin to appear from a mystery author, setting off a cascade of misunderstandings and tragic consequences. Ray’s morality is pushed to the limit as he tries to hold onto meaningful love but is only dragged deeper into a pit of deception. Written by brother Joel, Nash Edgerton’s directorial debut is an edgy, character-driven thriller that unravels with burning twists and turns, leaving no one unharmed. Director Nash Edgerton expected to attend both screenings

By JOEL YAKOWITZ
“ This movie is non stop fun and intensity. The cast is wonderful, and the directing and editing are right on.Maybe a little heavy on the "what else bad can happen?" but I actually enjoyed every one of the twists and bad outcomes. And yes the short film "Spider" is fantastically twisted.”
