Canada, near the US Border, Jalil, Leslie, Michelle, Gab, and Tom are driving back home after a wedding. A car blocks the road and forces them to stop. It's the Border Police. The officers check their IDs. They seem suspicious and their questioning slowly intensifies. In particular, the origins of Jalil seem to intrigue the officers. As good citizens, the group stays calm. After all, they've done nothing wrong... Except that broken light... Except that pot found in the car... (Arrow Films)

Very good. Beautifully shot, fairly slow and top of the range performances. Someone had a vision here, wanted to say something (though nothing revolutionary) and went for it. Territories is not the most gratifying kind of film, in the last half hour it makes a turn into something that you wouldn’t expect from your typical exploitation flick. There’s no naturalistic violence, nor is there a brutal climax, just a sad and uncertain point behind the fate of five likeable people. I liked the ending very much, it was the decisive factor for the four stars. I probably won’t remember it after a couple of months, but it resonated with me a while after the screening. Thumbs certainly up.
