About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grim, provocative mid-’60s thriller with a seedy city vibe and uneasy tension; Not for you if obscene-call stalking and sexual themes feel too sleazy or upsetting, and it’s often compared to Taxi Driver.
Pros: bold taboo subject matter; gritty New York mood; strong, unsettling performances | Cons: uneven pacing; heavy-handed sleaze; disappointing ending
