The Killing of Two Lovers (dir. Robert Machoian).

It goes to deeply personal places in testing the limits of its characters while maintaining a very grounded level of intimate drama. Machoian’s absorbing camera shifts and moves with this family to very ordinary places yet fleshes a sense of underlying darkness. Its cinematic vision is also particularly impressive considering its narrative constraints and the usual lean indie drama appeal. It certainly takes advantage of a very stressful conceit.
