Review of Penance (2014) by Deborah Young for The Hollywood Reporter — 13 Nov 2014
Complexly plotted, elegantly shot and orchestrated, this is the kind of long-winded, intermittently involving festival package that will earn the director of Tokyo Sonata more critical appreciation but will struggle to find a theatrical audience.
For a film that requires nearly five hours of viewing investment, it feels terribly stingy on the emotional payoff.
