Hannah Hoekstra took top acting honours at both the Montréal World Film Festival and the Netherlands Film Festival for her role as an acerbic-tongued germophobe in Dutch film and television director André van Duren’s smart adaptation of an eponymous 2013 novel. ​“The Fury is a tragicomedy centering on the relationship between ​‘Tidy Tini’ (Hoekstra), a nitpicky woman suffering from mysophobia, and her nephew Albert. As a boy, Albert spied on his aunt and tried desperately to understand her semi-explicit fault-finding. Now a father, Albert is poised for a major confrontation with his past, in which all family secrets will be revealed” (Vitor Pinto, Cineuropa).
