...a gratifyingly solid work that benefits from first-rate performers and a knowing location nose for the scruffier corners of Hamilton, Ontario.

Egoyan’s structure is byzantine, if always clear, and it’s most effective when pitting these disparate guilt strategies against each other.

...an elaborate, time-slipping thriller about the sins of the past and the moral quandaries of the present.

Atom Egoyan väver ihop komplicerade livsöden och deras dolda sidor utan att avslöja för mycket eller för lite.

...kring Thewlis ensamma inspektör frammanas en stämning som är filmens behållning. Eller kan vara det; oddsen är bäst om man är från tidigare bekant med Atom Egoyan.

Den som tänker ”Lynch light” hamnar rätt – särskilt när färgkoordinerad inredning matchas till lagom lugn men tokig låt på ljudspåret

Frequently asked questions

What is Guest of Honour about? Toggle content

Guest of Honour is a movie about Veronica (played by Laysla De Oliveira), a talented high school music teacher accused of sexually assaulting one of her students (Clive, played by Rossif Sutherland). Despite her denial of the charges, she agrees to a plea deal and goes to prison. Her father, Jim (played by David Thewlis), a food safety inspector for the city of Hamilton, tries to help her but is met with resistance from Veronica. Through flashbacks, we learn about Veronica's past and her complicated relationship with her father and Alicia (played by Arsinée Khanjian), a music teacher who became Jim's lover after Veronica's mother passed away. Veronica's past trauma and secret threaten to tear her and Jim apart, and the story unfolds in a narrative structure that alternates between the past and present.
