John Hawkes is one of those actors with a lived-in quality that pulls viewers in before a single line of dialogue is even spoken, and End of a Sentence is yet another testament to the stunning ease with which he slips into his roles. A healing road trip that takes the audience from
Alabama to the winding roads of
Ireland, Elfar Adalsteins’ directorial debut captures well-trodden paths with fresh eyes.
