    ★★★★

    This only just came to cinemas here, but the fact that I didn't hear a single person I know talking about it during this recent awards season is genuinely criminal. While it offers empathy to a thoroughly miserable person, it's equally concerned with the draining effect this places on the people around her and in particular her family for whom her hostility is depressingly inescapable.
