Stranger, The
Melbourne-born director Thomas M. Wright (Sweet Country)'s tense Cannes thriller THE STRANGER is a compelling and cinematic crime drama based on the true story of one of Australia's largest investigations.
Two men meet on a plane and strike up a conversation that slowly forms into a friendship. For Henry Teague (Sean Harris), worn down by a lifetime of physical labour, this is a dream come true. His new friend Mark (Joel Edgerton) becomes his saviour and ally, however, neither is who they appear to be. Both men carry secrets that threaten to ruin them -- and in the background, one of the nation's largest police operations is closing in.
★★★★★ "To call it an unconventionally impressive crime drama is to put it very lightly." THE GUARDIAN
"An elevated genre exercise - more challenging than the average crime drama but also more interesting" THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
