SOME THINGS ONLY LOOK PERFECT.

In the small town of Holland, Michigan, Nancy Vandergroot (Nicole Kidman) begins to suspect that her husband (Matthew Macfadyen) is having an affair, but things are much worse than that.

A thriller that aims for a satirical, quirky touch, with its setting in a town that seems obsessed with its Dutch cultural heritage; it’s not often we see a wooden clog used as a weapon, but here we are.

Handsomely, intriguingly shot, with an attractive music score, but builds slowly and there doesn’t seem to be much thought behind all the offbeat ingredients.
