Notes

My quick rating - 5,7/10. This one definitely is a slow burn that still keeps you interested especially if you have any familiarity with abuse and trauma, both physical and mental. Rebecca Hall plays the lead fabulously and makes the slower pace all worth it due to her screen presence. She has been mentally dominated and destroyed at a young age and now years later, the repressed emotions start rising up to the surface when she sees the man who had done this to her. Equally up to the task for the part is Tim Roth who shows up which opens up the floodgates in her brain to all the feelings she had been burying inside. As she encounters Roth she begins to lose her grasp of reality and it starts to encroach on her job and her parenting of her daughter (Grace Kaufman) who is trying to keep the mother-daughter relationship together as best as she can. The scenes are tense and having three actors of this caliber really makes all the difference in keeping the tension and wonder fresh while things unfold. This is one of those movies that makes you decide on what is actually going on and is happy to just give you little clues here and there without giving it away. Nor am I going to either since it will leave it open to interpretation in the ending. The mood is very dark and rightfully so tackling such a dismal topic head-on as it does. Everything is well-directed and I think that it just was ambiguous enough to bother me a bit. I don't want to go into spoiler territory so I'll leave it at that. Still a good thriller to check out if for no other reason but to see such a well-acted out flick keep you wondering even after the film is over.
