Elisabeth Moss carried her own and then some. The supporting cast did a good job, but at the end of the day she was tasked with some pretty intense solo scenes. The hard part here was that she had to perform those scenes at times while dealing with an invisible foe. And she did so rather impressively.
If you're interested in a modern twist on a classic tale, this is for you.

The plot: The lives of Carolyn Ryan (Meryl Streep), a small-town doctor, and her artist husband, Ben (Liam Neeson), are shaken up when their son, Jacob (Edward Furlong), becomes the prime suspect in the death of a local teen girl. While Carolyn is intent on learning the truth about her son's involvement, Ben is willing to protect him at any cost, regardless of his guilt or innocence. When Jacob finally tells his parents what happened, events take a surprising series of turns.
I highly recordmend watching this film.

The beginning took me a little while to gel with but once I did I was really into this. The connection between our two characters was so intense from the start. When they hit the rough patch near the middle and were forced their separate ways I ached for them. So that glimpse a few pages later of their meeting again 8 years later I got so excited. They were getting another chance!!
The fact that we didn't get a concluded story and it's going to be concluded in a second knocked it down a half star... but I'm going to go buy it right away to see how they get their HAE.
