About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow-burn boarding-school drama where desire, power, and jealousy steadily curdle into something darker, in the vein of The Hole; Not for you if teacher-student themes or a bleak tone are dealbreakers.
Pros: slow-building tension; strong performances; haunting atmosphere | Cons: uneven pacing; exaggerated animosity; grim, upsetting turn
