KXT Kings Cross (Sydney, Australia)
Tom arrives at a failing, isolated dairy farm in rural Ontario. It is the family property of his deceased partner, William, and he has come to attend the funeral. Before long, William’s mother, Agatha, and brother, Francis, draw Tom into a tragic, violent and sexually charged game of cat and mouse. Will Tom escape the farm, or will he continue the legacy of violence that has come before him?
Michel Marc Bouchard’s Tom at the Farm is a taut thriller that examines a family unable to grieve a tragic loss.
★★★★
“Tom at the Farm is a dark, fucked up ride that revels in ambiguity and shadows. It delivers a tightly coiled, suspense-filled thriller in 90 minutes that’ll leave you wanting a drink downstairs afterwards.”
