Synopsis:

From IMDb: “When a foreign exchange student arrives in a small upstate New York town, she challenges the dynamics of her host family’s relationships and alters their lives forever.”

Poster: C / D+

Review: Topping the designs off, we have one that isn’t very original, but works a bit visually. The second, on the other hand, is generic in an unnecessary way.

Trailer: C+

Review: The tendency of trailers to cut as quickly through the scenes as they can makes a character drama seem less exciting by extension. Sure, we’re supposed to get the idea that this married, adult man, has fallen for his foreign exchange student, but we see very little of the repercussions, which might have made it feel like there was some modicum of dramatic tension in the film.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Revisions:
