“The best thing about his movie are the virtuoso performances by Christopher Abbott Hal and Margaret Qualley. It is essentially a two person film with these wonderful actors navigating the complex relationship of their characters. Both of them are capable of conveying a range of emotions ranging from homicidal anger, to fear and to tenderness. The film is beautifully casted. Both actors bring intense and believable erotic energy to the film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome people may find the sadomasochistic nature of the these characters difficult to understand or to relate to but the film brings home the fact romantic love and sexual satisfaction come in many manifestations.”
