    An incredible cast and a magnetic lead performance from Liev Schrieber. It definitely has that 'made for TV' feel. Felt very much like more could have been developed in the script. Ideas are thrown in and never expanded upon properly. Definitely would have been a miniseries if made today, which I would be actively rooting for.

    "I don't think you have anything to worry about. You're not his type."

    In context, one of the most sickening lines of dialogue I have ever heard in a film.

    Probably one of the most soul crushingly uncomfortable films I have ever seen. Had a pit in my stomach for the whole runtime, so much incredible craft on display from the invasive cinematography to the subtle sound design to excellent central performance. An absolutely masterful (but incredibly difficult) film.

    This short, along with Aftersun and How To Save Sex is forming quite a neat subgenre of British people on holiday that has become surprisingly insightful and introspective.

    'Ethereal' is the word I would use to describe this short. To me personally, the idea of a Mediterranean holiday is completely unthinkable. I never went on one with my family nor have I gone on one with friends, so to me these films are already far removed from my own personal…

    Didn't realise I needed a montage of Parker Posey studying the Dewey Decimal System while a club dance beat is playing in the background, but it was incredibly satisfying nonetheless!
