Suture is a fascinating, intellectually ambitious film with excellent technical merits and a richly supplemented Arrow Video release, despite its occasional conceptual shakiness.

The Blu-ray presentation of 'Suture' by Arrow Video features a superb 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer sourced from a 4K scan of the original 35mm negatives, revealing excellent detail, strong contrast with inky blacks, and a finely modulated grayscale despite minor banding issues and occasional grain noise inherent to the film's visual design.

Audio: 57

Suture's LPCM 2.0 track offers clear and bright dialogue and musical interludes, with strong stereo separation and effective ambient sound dispersion. Despite being a 1990s low-budget indie film, it features good dynamic range, crisp dialogue, and a detailed musical score.

Extra: 61

The Blu-ray of 'Suture' includes a robust mix of new and insightful content, featuring a detailed making-of documentary, engaging director commentary with Steven Soderbergh, deleted scenes, an early Siegel and McGehee short film, and multiple trailers—each presented in high-definition, enhancing the overall viewer experience.

Movie: 71

"Suture," a meticulously constructed thriller blending Hitchcockian suspense with a surreal twist, explores identity through the striking casting of racially different actors as 'identical' half-brothers. Enhanced by Greg Gardiner's evocative black-and-white cinematography, the Blu-ray's new remaster and inclusions solidify the film's cult status despite its niche appeal.
