I really wanted to like this; Diop is a striking actress who holds your attention, even in silence. Stunning cinematography and eerie visuals is the highlight of this psychological horror I didn’t find all that psychological. You’re waiting for the other shoe to drop and when it does, while heartbreaking I wish the events that preceded were more compelling.
There’s good elements here, physically being in one place while emotionally, somewhere else…the upper class white couple really acts as background characters to our protagonist…the “American dream” but none of it ever comes together cohesively to move me in the end.
