MORE SPOILER-FREE MINI-REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/mini-reviews-2022-edition
"The Stranger is inspired by true events, but the conventionalisms surrounding this type of adaptation make the viewing predictable, too slow, and with an almost nonexistent replay value. Thomas M. Wright manages to insert some visually interesting shots, relying mainly on the subtle, intimate performances of Joel Edgerton and Sean Harris to carry the story.
However, the so-called mystery lacks actual intrigue and anything emotional to connect with the viewers, creating doubt as to whether the film would have benefited from a greater level of creativity without detracting from the realistic atmosphere employed by the filmmaker.
Recommended only for fans of the subgenre."
