The acting was phenomenal! Anxiety and trauma oozed off Anna Kendrick and the supporting casts' was no different in their roles; the antagonist gets maybe 5 minutes of screen time, but it's all he needed.
While the acting was great and I enjoyed an abuse story that's not trauma porn or exploitave, the story left a lot to be desired. Before watching it I saw it only had a 90 minute run time, and thought "seems short for subject matter." Sure enough, the plot felt rushed and underdeveloped. The story could've been explored on a much deeper level, and the characters make choices that don't make sense. Then the entire subplot with the missing girl I kept trying to figure out its connection only to never get an answer.
