StrangerLand tells the story of a disconnected family as they go through a rush of trauma. Matthew (played by Joseph Fiennes) is a tense and weary man who’s protective instincts leave no room for his family to have a sense of freedom. His wife Catherine (played by Nicole Kidman) is a cautious woman who constantly craves attention from Matthew. She begins to feel suspicious towards her daughter Lily (played by Maddison Brown)who’s seductive mannerisms lead her down a dark path. This path begins to unravel through grief and manipulation as the family learns to cope with a harrowing ordeal.
Writers Michael Kinirans and Fiona Seres create tense characters who lack self-control. They often find themselves feeling resentful towards the feelings they wish they could change. Director Kim Farrant creates a frantic atmosphere to show the unnerving nature of the characters. This intimidation reflects the revenge they want to partake on their enemies.
