4/4
It’s a film that seldom comes out and tells you exactly what’s happening, but its drama is so lucid that before any real tragedy unfolds (or is even hinted at), you feel it in your bones. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Sep 15
It’s a major film, one of the best of 2025, and an announcement of the deep talent of its writer/director. Go to Full Review Jenna Mahale Little White Lies Sep 11
Despite feeling like a fairly typical genre exercise in some ways, it’s a film that resists easy answers and categorisation. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 2d
