Atom Egoyan does a great job of weaving disparate stories all together in an amazing tone poem
May not be everyone's cup of tea but I appreciate how the story is all brought together in the mysterious place that is Exotica.
Sexy and seductive but it may just give you some existential dread. Mood and tone are exceptional. Seems made for me.
One of the most thoughtful and smart films.
In general, this director has a special fetish for trauma. It's average movie with the Extra nudity. Like the rest of the director's career!
Loved the story, Leonard Cohen and its tone. Atom is a very fine director.
Average, don't remember much of it.
That ending was haunting.
Great film!!!!
