The Quarry

A drifter poses as a preacher, but the police suspect foul play in a small town.

Trailer

Why watch this film?

Mixing classic westerns with the recent 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri', the suspenseful 'The Quarry' maximizes the claustrophobic atmosphere of the small town. Directed by Scott Teems (of the acclaimed 'That Evening Sun') and starring the excellent Michael Shannon (from 'The Shape of Water'), the feature film plays with the boundaries between truth and lies, religion and brute force. These are small stories that create real avalanches of pain, events and consequences. Everyone there is connected in some way. With an exaggeratedly slow pace, seeking to highlight the internal conflicts of those characters, 'The Quarry' is a movie that should be felt and contemplated more than watched. After all, more than a story, the feature attempts to accurately portray life in community, with all its challenges and complexities.
