A grieving man arrives at his dead lover’s family farm, where secrecy, menace and desire twist mourning into psychological terror.
In TOM AT THE FARM, Tom travels to a remote rural funeral for his lover, only to discover the family knows nothing of their relationship. Ordered to stay silent by the dead man’s volatile brother Francis, Tom is pulled into a disturbing game of lies, grief and control. Xavier Dolan crafts a tense, unsettling psychological thriller coiled with desire, fear and buried truth.
Rialto Recommends TOM AT THE FARM finds Xavier Dolan in taut, dangerous form. Stripping back the flamboyance for something darker and more controlled, he turns a remote farmhouse into a place of threat, repression and strange attraction. With echoes of Hitchcock and Polanski, this is a stylish, unnerving thriller where grief becomes performance and silence turns violent.
