Lead Niamh Algar gives us a sympathetic and increasingly unhinged protagonist to get behind, even when things really take a sinister turn. You so desperately want her to be right in her suspicions, even as the reality grows clearer, and Algar carries all of this with aplomb. It's her show through and through.
The constant foreboding atmosphere is complimented by a brooding music score, plenty of great cinematography and a colour scheme that manages to be vibrant and bleak. The finale in particular nails it's landing with the help of some hugely effective and stylish editing tricks.
A hugely impressive and tight debut feature length from Prano Bailey-Bond. I'm excited to see what she brings to the table next.
