The director of the emotionally impactful 2016 Academy Award-nominated film “Lion” is at the helm of the adaptation of Iain Reid’s 2018 novel of the same name, which he co-wrote with Reid (“I’m Thinking of Ending Things”).Īlready in a limited theatrical release and going wider this week before eventually landing on Amazon’s Prime Video, “Foe” pulls you in with its heartbreaking aesthetics and an entrancing fluidity Davis brings to the frame.
We’re content to give much of the credit for what works about “Foe” to Garth Davis and lay the blame for what doesn’t largely at his feet.
