REVIEWS
“The film starts by promising a bourgeois social drama about secrets and lies, suspicions and rivalries, and the troubled waters of juvenile and adult sexuality. What it ultimately becomes is much harder to define, but the result is resonant and haunting.”
“Forget sweeping shots of big landscapes, it’s the topography of the human face that is most stunning to behold. In Reinsve’s crumbling visage, we bear witness to what happens when the lives we delicately build threaten to chip and shatter before our eyes.”
“In a film playing with thriller and melodrama conventions before tipping over into expressive surrealism, hers is a fiercely visceral presence; Reinsve performs as if dancing on the edge of a knife.”
