About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow-burn, unsettling relationship drama where jealousy and paranoia blur what feels real, in the vein of The Unfaithful Wife or La Cérémonie; Not for you if you dislike bleak, distressing stories.
Pros: intense psychological tension; strong lead performances; gripping paranoia build | Cons: disturbing emotional abuse; confusing reality shifts; thin motivation for lead
