If it weren’t for the professional skills of Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth, this would have been a total mess. Hall plays a successful single mother whose life is upended when a man shows up from her past (Roth). This could bode well for a potential thriller, but the unnatural aspect throws the whole thing into absurd land. Any mild tension was easily overshadowed by the dramatic outbursts. There are undeniable influences from the body creepiness of David Croenenberg (most recently Crimes of the Future) with some of the weirdness of Julia Ducournau (Raw, Titane). Even so, this is less successful in concept or execution than either of those directors.
