An intricate female revenge in a tense British thriller.

2024, Sam Yates

United Kingdom—United States
90 minutes, English with Russian subtitles

Starring: Daisy Ridley, Shazad Latif, Hiba Ahmed, Matilda Lutz

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.

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.
