She is so stylish that even while going through all of this and almost going insane, she could still appear on a magazine cover
Kit and Aunt Bea’s relationship is so cute, and I could spend hours gossiping and laughing with Aunt Bea

Not a bad little Hitchcock-esque effort. Day becomes a bit much pretty quickly but I like the way they set up some red herrings along the way. And when it got to the point where I thought, OK this is going to need some twist I don't see coming to really stick the landing, it delivered!

Loved the bit that referenced the "Sheldon Hotel" in Dublin rather than the Shelbourne... who fucked that one up?
B+ Hitchcock knock-off. Except he would make a movie that's mostly set in one apartment a good bit more exciting. I saw the final twist coming a mile away bc you don't cast Rex Harrison just to play a clueless husband and nothing more. The opening scene is really good and creepy... even if the stalker's voice is super silly. Overqualified supporting cast incl. Hermione Baddeley from Mary Poppins! A relatively fun watch but didn't quite live up to the title.
