POSITIVES
If you’re looking for a disturbingly creepy psychological horror-ish thriller-ish premise, about a Mother who is on the edge of a maddening situation, then this just might be the movie for you.
Rebecca Hall is absolutely phenomenal in her role as Margaret and completely owns this film. She is the main reason to see this. Keep an eye for this one lengthy monologue that she does that will just keep you entranced.
The relationship, interactions, and back and forth with characters like Grace Kaufman's Abbie, Tim Roth's David Moore, Angela Carbone's Gwyn, and Michael Esper's Peter, helps further take you and Margaret down the scary rabbit hole.
Following the plot along, there is a good amount of suspense and tension to see what Margaret is going to do next; especially in the third act, which will only encourage you to keep watching.
There are compelling thematic messages that enhance the urgency and agency of the plot. Definitely things to think about.
NEGATIVES
Due to the nature of the story, it might take a while for you to get invested with it.
It has odd and baffling moments that might just frustrate you.
Oh believe me, this will push your suspension of disbelief.
Even at just 103 minutes, this movie might feel longer than what you probably want it to actually be.
That third act may not sit well for some people. Especially with how the movie concludes.
