A newly married couple are forced to navigate the all-consuming interest of a powerful, mysterious, and possessive philanthropist.
Our read: The Benefactor (2015) reads as a sombre, steady, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Sombre, steady, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
