    Not a good movie, but I did enjoy it. Literally a nightmare scenario and I was so uncomfortable the entire time

    Wow. This was such a beautiful movie, and Eva Victor put on a genuinely perfect performance. Devastating and haunting in the best way, this is one I’m going to be thinking about for a long time. 

    This was my first Sundance film, and I’m so glad I picked up the online showing.

    Ncuti Gatwa puts in another great performance as the Doctor, and I think he’s starting to cement himself as an all time great. However, I thought Nicola Coughlan was severely underused, and the emotional moments with her character did not hit that hard because we did not have much time to get to know Joy.
