What a waste of my time!!!
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
