    ★★★

    A very unsettling slice of life that thrives on lingering shots and an aggressively uncomfortable score that I won’t soon forget. I can see why this movie can be a bit polarizing, but it succeeds in making you feel every bit of the interactions that take place.

    You’re constantly wondering about the motivation amongst the 2 main characters and whether what we are seeing is a metaphor or simply just a different reality. I really don’t know how to interpret everything at this point, but I think that’s a feature of film and not a bug.

    An incredible look into how those surrounding a violent crime attempt to handle the situation. It has many opportunities to take cheap twists and turns, but stays true to its vision of focusing on the emotion and rational of all characters involved.

    It’s hard to pick a favorite episode as they all are technically masterful and carry great performances, but Stephen Graham’s grappling with denial, his internal conflict about his ability as a father, and the subtle and sometimes not so subtle cry’s for help when you’re supposed to be the rock in this situation are what I’ll remember most.
