“It takes a while to get your bearings in the story, but once you do, the film is a satisfying slow-burn, unravelling with enough secrets and twists to keep you engaged. The acting is mostly strong, but the two lead characters arenu0026#39;t particularly endearing, and their motives and actions are sometimes questionable. The film spends most of itu0026#39;s time in one location, but doesnu0026#39;t overstay itu0026#39;s welcome as the film is cleverly interspersed with jumps in time and space. The cinematography is lovely and keeps you engaged with the story. Ultimately, the film feels original and unformulaic, and stays uncompromising to the end.”
