#SHUT IN MOVIE TWIST CRACK#

Though she has lost the hearing in one ear and his vision is severely impaired, they sit together on the beach at the end of their all too short lives and agree there is nowhere they would rather be than together. The couple reunite and solve their differences, row with each other and their children but eventually make peace with themselves. Only Prisca and Guy are given a ‘good death’ – they live out the minutes of their lives together. Mum Prisca is thinking of divorcing Dad Guy she’s been having an affair, but both parents love their children fiercely and ultimately love each other too. This is a doomed family: a disjointed group who essentially all die horribly and alone, as opposed to the family we meet at the start. Later she tries to climb her way to freedom but falls to her death.

The beautiful, much-younger wife of Charles is positioned as being overly fond of her looks and as she starts to age and her body lets her down, she hides in a cave in the darkness rather than be with other people.Ĭrystal’s daughter Kara goes from being a little kid to a teenager, is pregnant, and immediately loses the baby (harrowing). It’s a medical condition, sure, but there’s an implicit judgement of Crystal in the background.

His wife Crystal’s (Abbey Lee) calcium deficiency causes the most horrific deterioration scene in the whole movie her bones crunch and become contorted into hideous and unnatural shapes as they crack and then heal too quickly. His mother has already died of what seems to be a heart condition at the start of the movie. He murders rapper Mid-Sized Sedan (Aaron Pierre), tries to kill Guy (Gael García Bernal), and eventually is killed himself by Prisca (Vicky Krieps), who stabs him with a rusty implement giving him super-rapid blood poisoning. Rufus Sewell’s Charles is a doctor with racist tendencies and his rapid dementia sees him become violent. It essentially attempts to sum up the entire human experience in one movie, indicating a variety of ways a life could go – with twists and turns of course. But characters die in different ways and that’s significant. In short: everyone except Trent and Maddox, the now grown children of the family we begin our journey with.
