A daughter never eats and never loses weight. It sounds like the ideal situation for any person. In A Banquet, a mother is under conflict after her daughter claims to be reached out by a higher power or even perhaps even something more dastardly.
The film stars Sienna Guillory, Jessica Alexander, Ruby Stokes, and Lindsay Duncan. Ruth Paxton directed the movie from a script written by Justin Bull.
Here is the official synopsis:
Widowed mother Holly (Sienna Guillory) is radically tested when her teenage daughter Betsey (Jessica Alexander) experiences profound enlightenment and insists that her body is no longer her own but in service to a higher power. Bound to her newfound faith, Betsey refuses to eat but loses no weight. In an agonizing dilemma, torn between love and fear, Holly is forced to confront the boundaries of her own beliefs.

This trailer looks creepy in the way that the daughter believes she is touched by a higher power. Meanwhile, the mother and others experience stranger events that may question her beliefs. It may be a low-key horror film, which is up my alley.
Check out the trailer below for A Banquet. Let us know what you think.
