Review of Guest of Honour (2020) by Jluis_001 — 15 Aug 2020

If there's a merit that I can give to this convoluted and dull melodrama is that it's not predictable and although in other cases it would be something noticeable for surprising the viewer, in this case it is simply a narrative resource to which the director resorted to when he wrote his script.

Guest of Honour, Atom Egoyan's latest film is certainly eye-catching because it looks good and is also well acted, but is so absurd that I personally found it difficult to connect with the story.

Depending on your patience and interest, you may find it more entertaining because the proposal wasn't that big of a deal and it's not that I think it's a bad film but I definitely didn't find it more engaging.
