Hokum

When a down-on-his-luck magician finds himself swept into a world of elaborate cons, manufactured identities, and increasingly blurred truths, HOKUM unfolds as a sly and unpredictable puzzle box. Led by a brilliantly off-kilter performance from Adam Scott, the film follows one man’s desperate attempt to distinguish illusion from reality as every new revelation deepens the mystery.

At once a biting satire and an emotionally resonant character study, HOKUM delights in pulling the rug out from under its audience. Director and cast conjure a world where authenticity is always in question and belief itself becomes the ultimate trick. Wry, suspenseful, and unexpectedly moving, HOKUM is a smart, shape-shifting thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last frame.
