Cobie Smulders & Ben Foster Interview: Sharp Corner Suggests We're at a Tipping Point

For a film inspired by a Canadian short story, directed by a Canadian filmmaker, and filmed on location in Nova Scotia, it's more than appropriate, after twelve long years, for co-writer/director Jason Buxton's sophomore feature Sharp Corner to have its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. Top-billed by Ben Foster and Cobie Smulders, Sharp Corner is a psychological thriller and dark satire serving as a cautionary tale about control, power, and the fragile nature of contemporary masculinity.
Sharp Corner tells the story of a man’s spiral as he tries to find greater purpose in his life. It follows Josh (Foster), a hapless family man who is drawn into saving the lives of the car crash victims at the sharp corner in front of his house. As Josh’s obsession takes hold, he places his wife, Rachel (Smulders), and son, Max (William Kosovic), in jeopardy, setting in motion a series of events that threaten to break his family apart.
While promoting their film at TIFF, Collider's Perri Nemiroff had the opportunity to sit down with Buxton, Foster, and Smulders at the Collider interview studio at the Cinema Center at MARBL to discuss obsession, their characters as human beings, and the "weird intimacy" - and deep appreciation - between the lead actors and artists on the film.
