      Leslie Felperin Hollywood Reporter Like Angot’s writing, the film as a whole has a magic mirror quality, like so many abuse stories; everyone sees something slightly different reflected in the surface, depending on their own experience. Feb 23, 2024 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies In many ways this is a film about, if not so much administering punishment, then at least making sure that the extent of her trauma is both understood and possibly shared.
