About
You’ll likely like this tense, ’70s true-crime thriller if you enjoy gender-focused danger stories and unsettling familiarity, but Not for you if you need a smoothly paced, fully cohesive plot or prefer straightforward chronology like Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.
Pros: unsettling tension; strong leads; ’70s atmosphere | Cons: choppy timeline; uneven focus; rushed feel
