Spoiler-Free Judgment Zone

A grieving woman answers the door to find another woman there who believes she rented the place as an AirBNB. What starts out as a friendly gesture to stay goes downhill in a big way as time goes on.

Spoilery Synopsis

Zoya finishes praying and then the doorbell rings. A woman comes to the door saying she rented this place on AirBNB. Zoya explains that it’s her mother’s house, who just recently died from cancer, and the strange visitor wants to come inside to sort out the issue. She brings her suitcase in with her. Zoya wants to know where Amelia will be staying, but Amelia stalls with her answer and begins making herself at home…

Brian’s Commentary

There are squatters, and then there’s this.

It all starts off pretty awkward, but it progresses realistically until it gets weird. It’s well shot and well acted, and both characters seem to have some major issues.

We all need friends as accepting as Amelia’s. Very nice!

Kevin’s Commentary

The quiet realism of this is impressive, and it builds nicely. Great script, great actors, and good direction. I thought it was excellent.
