Tribeca Review: Maika Monroe Is Fantastic in the Gritty Thriller 'In Cold Light'

In Cold Light marks a bold and gritty English-language debut from French-Canadian director Maxime Giroux. Shot on grainy film stock, this visually stunning thriller boasts impressive lead performances from Maika Monroe and Oscar winner Troy Kotsur as an estranged daughter and her deaf father facing mortal peril from vicious gangsters. It's a dark odyssey of betrayal, escape, and survival, and it winds through disparate settings to great cinematic effect. Despite pacing problems, the film remains engrossing as a deeply layered narrative comes to an unexpected and sobering conclusion.
