The lead, Madeleine Montana, is a fascinatingly flawed character, stuck in her own delusions of grandeur as a once-famous author. Her sharp, cynical wit cuts deep, especially in her interactions with her son, Oliver. The pacing leans into a slow burn, building tension as the serial killer's motives unravel, drawing eerie parallels to Madeleine's own life. The film's practical effects are understated yet effective, enhancing the gritty realism without overshadowing the story. It's an intriguing exploration of obsession and the blurred lines between fiction and reality, making it a noteworthy watch for those who appreciate character-driven narratives in the thriller genre.
