About
You may like this if you’re into dark, character-driven slow burns with uneasy attraction and a late-story jolt, in the vein of The Disappearance of Alice Creed; Not for you if you need a tidy, fully explained ending or fast thrills.
Pros: strong lead performances; moody slow-burn tension; intriguing setup | Cons: uneven pacing; abrupt tonal shift; unsatisfying resolution
