Upon release at Cannes (in the Un Certain Regard section), Savage Grace was booed by some critics and championed by others. The New York Times called it “elegant and icy.” The Guardian called it “repellent and fascinating.” The primary criticism was that the film was too beautiful for its subject matter—that cinematographer Juan Diego Solanas’s lush, sun-drenched frames aestheticized decay.

The film recounts the real-life tragedy of the Baekeland family: heirs to the Bakelite plastics fortune (the first fully synthetic plastic). But this is not a story of industrial triumph.

The 2007 biographical drama Savage Grace , starring Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmayne, remains one of the most polarizing and chilling explorations of elite dysfunction ever put to film. Directed by Tom Kalin, the movie charts the deeply unsettling, true-life downfall of the Baekeland family—heirs to the Bakelite plastics fortune.

In one of his earliest major roles, Redmayne portrays Antony with a haunting, fragile vulnerability that perfectly captures the character’s slow descent into madness.

Decades later, in 2007, director brought this disturbing tale back to the screen with ”Savage Grace,” a drama that dares to explore the dark, obsessive, and alleged incestuous relationship between mother and son. Starring Julianne Moore as the troubled socialite Barbara and Eddie Redmayne as her schizophrenic son Antony, the film is a visceral and uncomfortable watch.
