About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, dialogue-driven psychological drama with Gothic heat and moral ambiguity, similar to The Children’s Hour or The Night of the Iguana; Not for you if you dislike long monologues or slow-burn pacing.

Pros: gripping psychological mystery; powerful lead performances; sharp, memorable dialogue | Cons: very talk-heavy; slow, drawn-out stretches; divisive late turn
