This is a tragedy of the epic variety. Some viewers have criticized the plot as implausible. I believe it is not only plausible, but a perfect vehicle for the conflict that unfolds. The house is both the metaphorical future and past to it's two protagonists and hence becomes worth dying for. Yes there are two protagonists, Kathy and Col. Behrani, who have equal moral claims to the property. As the story plays out, with the looming destiny of a Greek tragedy, we are treated to some of the finest cinematic performances this year. Run, don't walk to see this film.
