Good Girl

About This Movie

Good Girl (2023) dives into a raw and intense exploration of trauma and revenge. Emilie’s confrontation with her rapist, Simon, is both chilling and compelling. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can almost feel Emilie’s internal struggle as she grapples with her desire for vengeance. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing the weight of her feelings to settle in, which sometimes creates an unsettling experience for the viewer. The performances, especially from the lead, bring a layer of authenticity that makes the emotional turmoil resonate. It’s not just about revenge; it deals with the aftermath of violence in a way that feels unflinching and real. It’s distinct for its unvarnished portrayal of a difficult subject matter. Not for everyone, but it's thought-provoking.
