      Louisa E I loved this movie!! I loved the theme of the movie and it appealed to my morality. While Hagon could be a brute (sometimes uncomfortably so), I wanted Hagon and Cynthia to be together at the end. The acting and cinematography was great, as was set design. The effects for the collapse were great and the whole movie was pretty gripping. Just lost a few points for the overacting in the first scenes and the length of the party scenes. My second favorite movie of the year. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
