The way Chloe Domont sensitively and thoughtfully constructs this volcano of emotions and escalating behaviours deserves praise, as does the film's editing and the way certain sound effects are used, constantly reminding us that this is a thriller and that the perfect world may be on the brink of crumbling.
There are some narrative choices that left me scratching my head, but even there, I cannot help but applaud the courage to venture down the paths it takes in the third act. The fragility of the male ego and power dynamics are explored in a rather sharp and necessary manner in a thriller that always leaves us questioning if there is any possibility of a happy ending.
