Suspect

2005 · 95 min Drama
3.2 / 10 · TMDB

Teacher Rob Dekoster is a good man, albeit a bit too frivolous and liberal with funds the local arts center's interim director. His wife Nelle, who sometimes abuses drugs, spoils his ingrate teenage stepdaughter Sandy, who is kind only to her sweet, mentally handicapped brother, Jimmy Vandevyver. After a class on sexual abuse from feminist teacher Lydia De Beule, Sandy pretends Rob abused her. Lydia, Rob's ex, eagerly helps her fabricate 'proof', which a female police commissioner eagerly believes. A frustrated judge (and father) shamelessly ignores the legal benefit of the doubt, even tricks Rob while in jail. Nelle discovers more then one sick truth.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a tense drama that relies on the fragility of reputation and the power of prejudice. It explores how a single false accusation can unravel a life when the system and community are predisposed to believe the worst without evidence.

What lingers after viewing is a profound unease about the ease with which truth can be weaponized and justice perverted. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Ivan Boeckmans
