A lot of contemporary movies with artistic ambition have a slow pace to add to their atmosphere. And this usually creates the opposite effect with me: I either reach for the fast-forward button on my remote or simply stop watching them.
The Stranger, however, is one of the rare movies where the slow pacing is the right choice. The whole operation surrounding the case described here was a long process, almost a game of chess which should force the antagonist to make the wrong move.
And when I understood this is based on a true story, everything clicked into place. This indeed is a tough story.
