good to see a mother-daughter relationship portrayed with the necessary nuances it needs. I was honestly a little pissed about the trailer portraying the relationship between Sri and her mother with a more sexual undertone, when it really was mostly an attention thing. I also felt they kind of didn't take the same amount of care to create a nuanced situation where Mira would be threatened by those guys, and they instead resorted to a more physical kind of threat which felt a little out of place. All in all though, lovely lovely film.
I was expecting the film to be one that explores the relationship between the father and the daughter, but it was much more intricate than that - I've watched too many films about parents and children drifting apart because of the parent's deteriorating health, but never has a film quite truly explained the why of things - the confusion and the rising tempo matching the tension ties together the film very beautifully, and olivia coleman and anthony hopkins have done a stunning job in making the film a memorable watch
I couldn't watch this at one go, because I simply could not sit through the slow terror that it creates. The fear of death has never been stronger for me.
