SANCTUARY
Jun 2 to Jun 5
Friday thru Monday 8pm ONLY!
Zachary Wigon - 2023 - 96m - No Matinees
A wickedly dark comedy follows dominatrix, Rebecca (Emmy Award® nominee Margaret Qualley), and her wealthy client, Hal (Christopher Abbott), as they engage in a high stakes role playing game for power and control.
In the wake of inheriting his father’s hotel chain, Hal attempts to end his long and secret relationship with Rebecca. A battle of wills ensues over the course of one incredibly fraught night, with both Rebecca and Hal struggling to keep the upper hand as the power dynamics swing wildly back and forth.
"Writer Micah Bloomberg’s script ingeniously incorporates the movie’s themes into its structure, and Qualley and Abbott—but especially Qualley—playfully keep the audience guessing throughout." - Katie Rife, RogerEbert.com
"If you’re someone who regularly bemoans the dearth of movies for adults, then take heart: “Sanctuary” is here for you." - Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
There’s no way to get a total read on what Qualley’s protagonist is up to, which turns out to be the primary thrill of this snapshot of personal, professional, and class warfare." - Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
"Two of the best acting performances of 2023, with a narrative that will spark great conversation, in a sharp portrayal of the many pleasures– or pains–that can happen in a person’s world." - Leo Brady, AMovieGuy.com
