About
You may like this if you enjoy tense, wish-gone-wrong stories with a strong moral edge and a claustrophobic setting; Not for you if you want tidy logic or deeply developed characters, though fans of Before I Wake may find a similar uneasy mood.
Pros: intriguing premise; strong performances; suspenseful mood | Cons: shaky logic; underdeveloped characters; uneven emotional shifts
