Matt Damon stars in a heart-rending take on the Amanda Knox story

STILLWATER

FATHER-DAUGHTER STORY ‘I’m trying to get my little girl out of jail, that’s all I give a damn about.’ Matt Damon stars in a steadily played, nuanced drama loosely based on the Amanda Knox story, about the dad of a girl imprisoned for murdering a fellow student in France. It’s a culture clash story about a very American man trying to do the right thing against a baffling bureaucrac­y in a different country — but it also raises an interestin­g question as the story becomes more complex. What will the buttoned-down Bill (Damon, left) do if his daughter is guilty? That tension is nicely brought out by director Tom McCarthy, who won the Best Picture Oscar for his brilliant reallife journalism drama Spotlight. From Friday
