In the Cut
Quick Summary
In the Cut is a 2003 thriller film directed by Jane Campion. The movie stars Meg Ryan as a New York City speech pathologist who becomes entangled in a police investigation after discovering a dismembered body. Her career slowed down in the early 2000s after tabloids implied she was having an extramarital affair with Russell Crowe and after she went against her archetype by appearing in the erotic thriller In the Cut (2003). Campion is known for her films that often focus on women who are outsiders in society, with other notable movies including The Piano (1993) and The Power of the Dog (2021).12
