Film Filter: Off - Orphan

The Orphan (2009) R


 Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard, Isabelle Fuhrman


Film Filter: On When a young couple miscarries their third child, they must make a decision whether or not to adopt.  Finding that they connect strongly with an oddly mature young girl, Esther, they opt for opening their home up to her and making her a part of their family.  Slowly but surely, the family finds that Esther has a way of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, which causes them to question the safety of their family while in the presence of this mysterious girl.


Things to note- Good acting, unpredictable ending, slightly unrealistic scenarios, slow paced, sometimes frustrating.
