“A different flavour of film from Ryan M Andrews. Art of Obsession is simultaneously intense, sad, and thrilling. Terrific cinematography contrasts and complements the storyu0026#39;s disturbing themes, and Ry Barrett and Winny Clarke lead a strong cast. I was genuinely absorbed by this flick. If you like psychological thrillers, this is a good one to check out.”
