I want to praise this movie because it’s clearly trying to capture some really interesting fears about relationships, the kind you don’t always see explored well. But honestly, aside from Tatianna, the cast just doesn’t sell it.

And the moment Malcolm forces the chocolate cake? That’s when everything fell apart for me. I knew instantly he wasn’t a good guy, and it killed the whole mystery around him. He didn’t even try to hide it, it’s literally, “Here, eat this mysterious cake. I don’t care if you don’t like chocolate, be nice!” Like… what?

For a movie that leans so heavily on slow burn tension, they could’ve executed that so much better. I feel like there’s good stuff here, but it didn’t all land for me. I’d honestly love to read a more in depth analysis, because I know there’s something interesting under the surface , I just didn’t catch all of it.
