Press
“One of the most haunting films of the decade.”
“This is a film that lingers in the bloodstream, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.”
“Moving even when it's baffling, it's a standout of shattering proportions.”
“A grounded psychological precision that deepens the film's realism to almost unbearable emotional resonance.”
