An incredible movie, one of favorites of the year
This movie may not appeal to everyone, but the fact is that it has a very strong message. Julia Garner is amazing actor.
Great movie. Super tense for something that feels so mundane. Stressful, in a good way
Started off slow with some mundane moments only to build to a heavy and powerful conclusion that arrived out of nowhere. 7/10
Julie Garner shines in this slow, understated character drama. All the characters, events, and dialogue feel very real.
The sad part is that this shit is happening so often
Parts dragged, for sure, but I’m glad I saw it, especially for Julia Garner’s excellent performance and how solid the filmmaking was.
Aburridisima y sin historia, un desperdicio.
Slow and sad. Not really a story; doesn't really end. More of an experience.
One of the most boring movies you’ll ever watch. It’s literally an assistant doing her job. There’s no rise and fall to this movie at all.
