Fortunately this is not what I expected.
What a debut from director Rose Glass.
A slow-burn, hypnotic and ultimately surprising film.
A character driven and VERY well told story.
This involves loneliness, desperation and 'hope", or rather blind faith in religious/spiritual significance and redemption.
The last 20 minutes of this movie made reevaluate everything and watch it again. And again.
The visual storytelling is perfect, the few actors are incredible and even some of the cgi effects which are purposefully cheesy are well placed.
Rarely have I seen a movie depict a descent in madness this well. Such a realistic portrayal of isolation and mental illness.
This will stay with me for a long time. It's not for everyone, but to me it's a treasure.
