Sanctuary

Director Zachary Wigon’s Sanctuary is trying very hard to be both thrilling and erotic, but all that comes through is the effort. Just watching is exhausting.

It’s a love story, sort of, and whatever limitations are set by the location are obliterated by the performances.

It's exquisite... Very sophisticated, and not very much about sex, either.

It knows when to be cold for dramatic effect and when to show the wounds of its characters as a means of grounding them.
