      Not quite bad, but it's not recommended either.

Movie Reviews

  • this is a minor work from the Chinatown director. It is told too obviously and lacks any of the ambiguity found in the first-person novel
    2 of 5 by Kaleem Aftab [The Independent ]
  • the film feels like the work of an author thoroughly bored with his material, a sentiment impossible not to share as a viewer
    Review rate : C+ by Giovanni Marchini Camia [The Film Stage ]
  • the end of it all is so anticlimactic that it leaves you sitting there, in your brand new lipstick, wondering how could it ever have been worth it
    Review rate : C+ by Tommaso Tocci [Indiewire ]
  • nothing in this feeble psychological thriller rings true for a moment, though its unhinged machinations feel as pedestrian as soap opera in execution
    1 of 5 by Robbie Collin [Daily Telegraph ]
  • it wobbles at the brink of plot-holes which undermine the vital realistic plausibility of a film like this; the entire third act moreover loses its way and winds up, like its heroine, in a ditch
    2 of 5 by Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian ]
