About
You may like this if you want an intense relationship drama with strong performances and a mounting sense of pressure; Not for you if you prefer likable characters or lighter, more hopeful stories like Bright Days Ahead.
Pros: strong lead performance; tense emotional buildup; vivid sense of place | Cons: familiar affair setup; characters can feel unsympathetic; some turns feel contrived
