What I've learned from all the LIFETIME movies released over the past two years is that writers/producers can have excellent movie ideas, but a poor way of executing it. This one is no exception.
Basically the plot centers around this young woman named Lacey who's offered a job to live in isolation with a "method actor". This had so much potential to be good, but they hardly even tried with the story.
All the positive reviews here were obviously written by the people who've worked on the film, to make it look like a good, recommendable movie. This is a common tactic among filmmakers, and it's so despicable. Basically tricking the people reading the reviews into thinking it's a great movie, only to be utterly disappointed at the unfinished, sloppy ending. The producers of The (Virgin) Sinners (2021) and You Can Never Go Home Again (2022), also did this. Also if you visit the reviewer's profile, you can see that they've written a review for a movie produced and directed by the same people. So they couldn't have made it more obvious.
I like watching Nicky Whelan on LMN. It's a shame her character is literally only in the beginning and end of the movie. She makes a brief appearance at the start, and then we don't see her again until the hospital scene.
The ending left me with a lot of questions. Lacy stabs Desmond with a knife and then the police shoot her. Next scene is her in a hospital room in a coma while Sharon sits by her side. A bottle of pills are found, and it is revealed shortly afterwards that Desmond had schizophrenia and was on medication for it. Sharon then says I'm sorry to a comatose Lacy as she walks away from the hospital room. Really?? That was it?? I've seen a lot of other Lifetime movies with disappointing endings but this one takes the cake!
One last note: I'm not really an animal person, but I really hate it when the bad guy kills the protagonists pets. Even if it doesn't make a difference to the story!
