Destroyer

When a fresh case exposes history from a former investigation, LAPD detective Erin Bell (Nicole Kidman) is forced to face her demons, in this genre-defining work from Karyn Kusama (Æon Flux). As a young detective, Erin and her partner Chris (Sebastian Stan) were placed undercover in the California desert to infiltrate a notorious criminal gang, controlled by their dangerously unstable leader Silas (Toby Kebbell), but the operation ends in tragedy.

Years later, struggling to maintain a relationship with her daughter and still haunted by her past, she embarks on a mission for redemption and closure when it appears Silas has re-emerged.

Critic Reviews:

• " A masterful performance by Kidman, who has proven over the last few years that she has deep reserves of talent. " – Wenlei Ma

• " Kusama manages the neat trick of keeping her storytelling clear enough to understand, but tricky enough to hold off on some crucial information. " – Jesse Hassenger

• " Nicole Kidman may well be the first performer to deserve Oscars for both Best Actress and Best Supporting actress – for the same role in the same movie. " – Bill Newcott
