There's this raw, gritty realism that captures the struggles of a woman trapped in an abusive marriage, and it’s complicated by her secret lesbian affair. The pacing feels deliberate, almost hypnotic, as it unfolds the layers of both despair and desire. Performances are solid, grounding the narrative in palpable emotion, and the practical effects add a nice touch that complements the overall aesthetic.
