Great watch, could watch again, and can recommend.
This is a great realistic psychological thriller. You literally get to watch Caitlin Stasey carry the movie as a woman slowly showing that she's going crazy.
Honestly, with level of acting she displays in this, I'm honestly confused why she isn't as big as her co-star, Thora Birch, who feels incredibly under utilized. Though, this is the first time I've seen her able and playing a "mom type" character.
While Stasey clearly carries the movie, Sasha Frolova does her fair share of work as well.
The story itself is pretty average, but there is just enough production value put into it, and the idea is executed so well that it feels like excellent writing. To be fair, it did take quite a bit of talent to write the webs of lies weaved in the story. The level of sociopathy displayed is amazing.
It's a great movie from a psychological perspective, and I'm sure if you like "social drama" or suspense, then you'll like this one.
