In the upscale Toronto strip club Exotica, dancer Christina is visited nightly by the obsessive Francis, a depressed tax auditor. Her ex-boyfriend, the club's MC, Eric, still jealously pines for her even as he introduces her onstage, but Eric is having his own relationship problems with the club's female owner. Thomas, a mysterious pet-shop owner, is about to become unexpectedly involved in their lives.

A decent movie with the usual Atom trademarks. You never know who anyone really is or the relationships, which allows your imagination and anxiety take over. A fragmented story which does the same. I wouldn't say it's my favorite of Atom's but it's solid. I oiked the settings. It didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth, which I actually wanted. The ending wasn't as good as I'd expected but it was OK. Like The Adjuster it's both very real in the events and character journeys but disconnected in presentation. I prefer The Adjuster.

Hypnotic film in which Egoyan proves himself exceptional.

I gave this movie a shot based on the glowing reviews provided by the likes of Ebert and some other well-known reviewers. I have also been a fan of some of the director's other work, especially The Sweet Hereafter. To be honest I liked the movie but by no means loved it. Several of the reviews mention their lives as being bleak and desperate - I didn't get any of that (certainly not to the degree that I did in The Sweet Hereafter). The end was good and answered a few questions but also introduced new ones (which I also like in a movie). follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com or facebook IHateBadMovies

The best psychological drama I've seen in a long time. I can't even remember anything that comes close.

**Something abstract and disconnected, not worth seeing more than once in our life.**

This is one of those films that puts such a huge barrier between the audience and the screen that it seems like we're not even being taken into consideration by the producers. Despite the attempts, there is not More
