While A Sacrifice‘s third act may be a bit too silly for its own good, the pervasive feeling of dread will linger on long after the credits roll.

Jordan Scott’s film, adapted from Nicholas Hogg’s novel “Tokyo Nobody” and produced by her father Ridley, isn’t quite as interesting as the towering questions that it asks. But the fact that it bothers to ask them at all puts the film in a rarified class above many of its Hollywood counterparts.

The result is a movie that ultimately falls short on both suspense and ideas, though it remains watchable enough.

Any one of the stories in A Sacrifice would be worthwhile to follow, but as it were, we only get a taste of each, and it's just not enough to make the ending satisfying. What is portrayed as horrific and tragic becomes melodramatic and arbitrary.

The first two-thirds of "A Sacrifice" are a largely leaden affair that offers viewers little that they haven’t seen before. It isn’t even awful so much as it is intensely forgettable—the kind of film whose title eludes you even as you watch it.
