Synopsis:
20 years after her husband's death, Elizabeth (Jacqueline Bisset) keeps more than just his memory alive. She takes in a student lodger Julie (Alice Isaaz) in exchange for help with her daily chores. There is one condition though; she must act as though the woman's dead husband is still alive. Soon Julie starts to feel his presence, but is it simply a presence or something even more terrifying.

A beautifully acted curio. - The Lodger review by NP

Spoiler Alert
05/08/2022

This is a dark, modern-day fairytale you know is lurching further into ridiculousness, but it’s so stylish and well played, that you go along with it anyway.

In what is for the most part a two-hander, Alice Isaaz and Jacqueline Bisset as Julie and Elizabeth are extraordinary good, and the shifting story allows us to view the characters differently as they reveal more about themselves.

For those unable to take the situation seriously, the film does nothing to make events any more palatable. Even at the end, the audience is invited to make up their own minds about what they have just watched. My score is 7 out of 10.
