Julia Garner is a fantastic actress and is wholly amazing in this film which resonated with me on several levels. People who are saying it is slow and rubbish are people who can't relate to the situation. It literally depicts a day in the office and how the protagonist is treated by her peers and superiors, how she feels she should react and when she "steps out of her lane" to do the right thing she is mercilessly put back in "her place".
I have been this person in my past. I was totally engaged. Great film. If you can't relate - no problem but that does not mean it has been poorly executed. It is so true to life. One reviewer wrote gaslighting at its finest. I could not agree more.
