Exposure succeeds in presenting OCD without judgment and telling a genuinely compelling story that raises some fascinating moral questions.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Most mental illnesses are often misunderstood by the general public, with stereotypes and harmful misconceptions popping up in media more often than not. The new film Exposure, written and directed by Peter Cannon and soon making its debut at the Newport Beach Film Festival, aims to present a nuanced take on obsessive compulsive disorder, told through the lens of a twisty thriller.
Cannon smartly puts the viewer directly in Tanner's shoes, playing up the very real fear that consumes his every movement and exacerbates his condition. Director of photography Michelle Kwong frequently keeps the camera moving, following the characters' movements and adding to Tanner's sometimes erratic behaviors in a sly way. It often gives the impression of the viewer being a fly on the wall, or perhaps being tangled up with Tanner as his OCD only gets more complicated.
As Tanner, Smith gives an impressive performance, portraying his increasing panic and, later, steely resolve with ease. He's fully committed to the role, which only makes it easier to get invested in Tanner's journey. Smith and Harshman have believable chemistry that deepens the bond between Tanner and Nicole. It would be easy for the wife character to become one-note, but Harshman plays her so well that she feels like a real person.
