Dec 5, 2017 Full Review Stephen Dalton Hollywood Reporter Chilly but stylish homage to vintage film noir. Dec 4, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Although character motivations might, at times, seem a little opaque, this film offers a commentary on a society in which even a successful woman is nothing unless she has a man's support.
