You can watch this movie from here Review david thewlis stars here, and it's miles handiest the absolute conviction of his overall performance that saves this from being an utter misfire – a misfire of the type that, alas, the as soon as terrific movie-maker atom egoyan maintains on giving us. as it's miles, visitor of honour is simply a bafflingly strained and unconvincing melodrama with some awful performing. it also must be stated that this has annoying echoes of egoyan’s excruciating 2008 movie adoration in that each feature a instructor who gets her students right into a definitely risky scenario but in no way shows the smallest guilt, and behaves as though she is sorrowingly pained through different people’s moral failings. thewlis plays jim, a british expatriate in canada hired as a food inspector. his daughter, veronica (laysla de oliveira), is a tune teacher who's now in jail for a sexual offence with teenage pupils that she did not commit (but intentionally gave each impression of committing) and confessed to, supposedly because she wanted to punish herself for something else. that is associated with her father’s obvious adulterous courting together with her own tune teacher while she become a woman, a poisonous reminiscence that tragically poisoned her own courting with this instructor’s son. nothing on this bizarrely tangled, garbled backstory is convincing, de oliveira’s performance is inert and somnambulist – although that is greater the fault of the script and direction – and the drama of the intercourse offence itself is uncomfortable and wrong in all types of methods. however thewlis maintains the film from sinking completely: the haunted, sad man resigned to his unjust burden of guilt and shame.
