A study of violence against women in thriller clothing.
An incredible lead performance by Wilde drives this film. It's surrounded by small but powerful supporting turns, economical storytelling, direction that is at once taut yet willing to hold on a character's emotional struggle for as long as is needed, and a refusal to indulge the viewer in cathartic, titillating scenes of vengeful violence, or the usual sub-genre tropes (the vigilante forms a bond with someone despite themselves, they come up against a well-resourced big villain who threatens their new friend, etc).
Rating: Great
