I really liked this and Ilana Glazer was great. It is very unsettling at points and the ending is sure to be a conversation starter. B+

Too many ideas and style devours storytelling in this thriller with great cast and acting. The film is so focused to keep the atmosphere tense and dark it forgets to tell a compelling story and bring in much needed tension in proceedings. I loved the direction from John Lee when he is trying to borrow old school thrills and make them his own but then every second scene he relies too much on actors and social themes that movie becomes dull and loses focus.

The central trio and specially Glazer is amazing here and there are many many uncomfortable situations that are handled very well but overall screenplay around them isn't.

C+
