Actors: Elisabeth Moss, Aldis Hodge,
Storm Reid, Harriet Dyer, Michael Dorman, Oliver Jackson-Cohen
Rating: 9 out of 10, This is a very,
very good movie. It doesn’t go for cheap thrills and the tension is almost
non-stop. It’s not as if she needs one after Mad Men and The Handmaid’s Tale
but this also serves as a coming out party for Elizabeth Moss. She dominates in
the lead role as a long-suffering girlfriend of a crazed, abusive scientist.
She finally escapes only to have her supposedly dead ex starting to haunt her
in his cleverly designed invisible mode. A lesser actress would have been more
of a victim but Moss raises the game above the mundane. I actually laughed out
loud at the very satisfying climatic scenes which was really a release of the
tautness I’d held since the start. This is the best movie I’ve seen so far this
year.
MVP: Moss owns this movie, as the resilient
Cecilia
