You'd call it Egoyanesque even if it weren't Canadian: heightened framing, arch tone, perverse and intricate plot.
VOR:③
Exciting mix of narrative intricacy with presentational theatricality, even if both the convolutions and the boldface colorism are open to charges of affectation. Precocious debut.
