Love it when a guy knows he has a story. Was not expecting this to be as funny as it was, Ben Foster feels like he’s channeling some Tim Robinson at times (complimentary)

A movie about the male urge to spurn your family and become obsessed with your front lawn
Brett ArnoldMay 21, 2025Ben Foster is a consistently good actor who’s usually a smouldering standout in whatever he’s in. So it’s great to see him get a lead role in Sharp Corner, playing against type as a family man. Foster moves wife Cobie Smulders and their young son out of the city to their…
jryn7Aug 12, 2025I grew up living on a sharp corner for about seven years, and I remember it vividly. Many car accidents happened there, and some were truly horrific. It was pretty terrifying, though I was lucky enough not to witness most of them firsthand; I can only recall seeing one.…

Creepy; curious; haunting; restrained; sad; slow; unsatisfying.

PipingskieMar 18, 2026Sharp Corner really gripped me with its strange premise, and even if it doesn't fully stick the landing, its absurdity and an incredible Ben Foster performance truly hook you in. The film follows the quiet unraveling of Josh after buying a new house located on a sharp…

- Jana likedSharp Corner
Weird, shifty guy finds weird, shifty purpose, with some sad (deserved) consequences. The description said “dedicated family man” but this was a guy who clearly did not want to be and should not have been a father, which was actually an interesting dimension to the character. Key takeaway: don’t…
J is "meh" onSharp CornerI just wanna know what constitutes this as a thriller 🫤 because this was a whole lot of nothing. Not thriller. Not psychological. Not good. There was absolutely not reward for sitting through these 2 hours.
Jen is "meh" onSharp CornerThis was slow and weird movie. I’m not sure if we are supposed to feel badly for the lead or not but he is creepy and not someone I feel badly for.

Led by an against-type performance from Ben Foster, writer-director Jason Buxton’s languidly paced psychological thriller about domesticity and masculinity may be handsomely mounted but ultimately strikes an all too hollow tone to land its kicker of a final shot.

Canadian director Jason Buxton crafts a sometimes tense and sometimes unsteady character study that isn’t so much laced with dread as it is slathered with it.

A fascinating character study that shows us the dangers of finding fulfillment in all the wrong places.
