My review for Stoker starring Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode. The film is directed by Park Chan-Wook and is locally distributed by 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. Pictures.
The movie is visually pleasing for starters. While it's not a requisite, you might want to watch the South Korean film "OldBoy" which was Stoker director's Park Chan-Wook's masterpiece and the film that got him critical acclaim. Going back, it would be a good idea to watch that film to really appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship that was placed in Stoker.
From a script penned by Wentworth Miller and directed by acclaimed Korean filmmaker Park Chan-Wook comes “Stoker,” a sexy and dark thriller starring Nicole Kidman, Matthew Goode and Mia Wasikowska.
The first English-language feature of director Park, “Stoker” introduces India Stoker (Wasikowska) when she loses her beloved father and best friend Richard (Dermot Mulroney) ) in a tragic auto accident on her 18th birthday, her quiet life on the family’s secluded estate is suddenly shattered. Exquisitely sensitive, India’s exhibits an impassive demeanor which masks the deep feelings and heightened senses that only her father understood.
