Tech-company executive Josh (Foster) and therapist Rachel (Smulders) are a middle-class married couple who have just moved out of the city to a lovely larger home in the country with their young son Max (William Kosovic). The house has just one problem: it is located right next to a sharp turn in the road, which speeding or drunk drivers often fail to recognise before they spin out. The first night in their new home, a teen motorist dies while smashing into a tree on their lawn, one of his tires flying through the window and nearly hitting Josh and Rachel. Concerned about their anxious child, Rachel proposes they move, but Josh insists that everything will be okay — even though more deadly crashes occur over the next several months. Early on, Buxton hints that his protagonist is a bit detached, with Josh staring off blankly as his family becomes accustomed to this seemingly idyllic home. Wielding a soft-spoken reticence, Foster creates a character who seems to disappear from every room he’s in, his face fixed in a permanent sigh and half-smile.. – Screen Daily

What’s so thrilling about “Sharp Corner,” Jason Buxton’s atmospheric descent into madness, is how strongly it refuses to explain itself. – IndieWire
