The Weinstein Company's film "Regression" is a 2015 mystery thriller directed by Alejandro AmenĂ¡bar and starring Ethan Hawke and Emma Watson. The movie is set in the early 1990s and follows the story of a detective named Bruce Kenner who investigates the case of young Angela Gray, who accuses her father of sexual abuse.
As the investigation progresses, Kenner starts to uncover a dark and terrifying conspiracy involving a satanic cult. As the story progresses, viewers are offered a glimpse into the disturbing and twisted world of the cult, with its dark rituals and unimaginable horrors.
While the film had a talented cast and an intriguing premise, it ultimately fell short of expectations, receiving mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. Many viewers found the film to be too confusing and convoluted, with a poorly developed script that failed to fully explore the interesting themes presented.
The release of "Regression" was also marred by controversy due to its association with former film executive Harvey Weinstein, who co-founded The Weinstein Company. In October 2017, Weinstein was accused of multiple instances of sexual harassment, assault, and rape, which led to a widespread scandal and the eventual downfall of The Weinstein Company.
Despite its flaws, "Regression" remains an interesting and thought-provoking film that explores some dark and controversial themes. However, its association with Weinstein will forever cast a shadow over its legacy.
