Review of The Box (2009) by David Denby for The New Yorker — 29 Mar 2010
The Box turns into a kind of sacrilegious Christian fable; it’s haunted by God, but it delivers a vicious doctrine. At the risk of impoliteness, I would suggest that Kelly drop his reliance on religio-mystico-eschatological humbug and embrace, in realistic terms, the fantastic possibilities in ordinary acts of murder, fear, heroism, and death.
If he pulls himself together, he could be the next Hitchcock.
