Writer Ben and housewife Anette move to a country house—the couple are expecting their second child. Soon their five-year-old eldest daughter is offered a role in a film, Ben becomes her chaperone on the set and falls for a scandalous Italian film star—much to Annette’s growing frustration.

Shot from Magpie, 2024

This is first and foremost a tense portrait of a toxic relationship, and a brutally compelling one at that.

— Catherine Bray, The Guardian

With sheer pleasure, director Sam Yates sets the viewer to follow the sinister machinations of an angry wife and ingeniously illustrates the gradual disintegration of the psyche of the heroine played by Daisy Ridley, Rey from Star Wars: Episode VII.
