Queen of Earth

Alex Ross Perry, USA 2015, 90’
Listen Up Philip Golden Exits

Life hasn’t exactly spoiled Catherine (Elisabeth Moss), so her best friend tries to help during this time of crisis by arranging a trip to a remote cottage. There, things get complicated as old grudges, suspicions and competitiveness rear their ugly heads.

‘Queen of Earth’ Hell is other people — especially the ones who know you best — in Alex Ross Perry's acidly funny and unnerving portrait of a psychological breakdown. (Variety)
