A Young Teacher and Student

The age old story, Henry the Literature teacher has moved on from the events on Grad Night 2008 but is brought back in by another student, now a documentary videographer, will he help or cover up? A little slow but an agreeable reveal.

I Did Not Care For This One

Ten years ago, schoolgirl Millie Brady disappeared, never to be found again. Her father was found guilty of her murder, but her body was never found. Now, Phoebe Fox, who had been her classmate, is making a film abut the girl. She goes to their teacher, Andrew Buchan, who is now a copywriter, to ask for his participation.

The third of three movies based on Håkan Nesser's collection of short stories, is not as compelling as the other two. Perhaps it is the nature of the crime that underlies this story, or the performers, or perhaps, looking at three of them in short order, or the slow, plodding way in which it uncovers and reveals the sordid situation. Perhaps I am mildly bored by similarity of technique in all three: the gorgeous camerawork, the way the silences fill in the characters and situations. In any case, it is still a well-told tale.

Boring

The movie just dragged on and on and on. There was nothing in it to hold the audience's attention.

The Best in The Intrigo Trilogy

I would say this is the best one out of the three as far as storylines go.

A school girl disappears. Years later a former classmate starts interviewing people that the gir knew at that time. Her father was convicted, but was he the real killer and if so where's her body?

Kinda got a feeling on which way the story was gonna go, continued watching just in case it went a different direction.

I enjoyed it

This film has an intriguing plot. It is very engaging, and makes you care about the characters. There are twists that you just can't see coming as well. The production is very good as well. I enjoyed it.

Trivia
Intrigo: Mort d'un Auteur (2018), Intrigo: Chère Agnès (2019) and this movie comprise an anthology trilogy. As an anthology, the trilogy is tied together by story themes - hate, revenge and nemesis - rather than by characters. The only characters common to all three movies are the not seen opening narrator, portrayed by Karen Archer, who speaks about those themes, and Doris, portrayed by Tor Clark, a server at the titular "Intrigo", a café in the fictional town of Maardam where many of the characters meet. Michael Byrne portrays Keller in both "Author" and "Samaria", Ed Cooper Clarke portrays Thomas Neuman(n)-Hansen in both "Author" and "Agnes", and Cal MacAninch portrays Erich Neuman(n)-Hansen in both "Agnes" and "Samaria", and one can only assume, although it is not implicitly stated, that in all three cases the actor is indeed playing the same character in both movies. In addition, the assumed name of the translator in "Author" and the ad copywriter in "Samaria" are both Henry Martens.
