It’s a little like the great tragic operas: why moralise when it’s so much more fun to watch the world burn?

Subtlety is disregarded and melodrama is heightened, making for one helluva wild time.

9/10

The production has the unadorned simplicity of a hypodermic needle and is just as effective.

Something for the lifetime movie Network. Long, unrealistic , and cringey. At times the storyline seemed to lose focus.

Entertaining and thrilling movie that has an interesting twist about half way through. I enjoyed the bi-coastal settings in Los Angeles and New York. Not familiar with any of the actors but thought they were good. Seems like there could be a sequel- hope so.

All of the characters except for the baby are insufferable. There’s no one to root for honestly and it’s about 45 minutes too long. Don’t waste your time.

This thriller kept me guessing where the story was going next. This film touches on some of our deepest fears and emotions. Great casting and a stellar performance by Liz Fenning. Extremely entertaining.
