A great film for grown up people


Slow and quiet but what a hold it had on me the whole time.

The lead actress is amazing, she does so much with just the way she breathes, in reacting to something. You can read her whole thoughts and fears in the way she makes an eye movement. Her body language and facial expressions show her story more than dialog can.

The premise that allows the main characters to spend so much time together is a bit unbelievable but the way their feelings unfold is very relatable and human.

What a complex set of human emotions on display. This is a great movie. I saw this the day after watching Red Notice, and I feel sad thinking about how many will see that and how few will see this.

Completely agree with you. Joanna Scanlan's portrayal of the heartbroken wife had me feeling I was viewing the real thing (not a movie). The cast, scenes, and dialogue were extraordinary. --Agree that this movie isn't for everyone.
