You have to be in the right mood for it, but this is one of the season’s finest films.
That it is realised so beautifully, and has such an emotional impact, makes it a genuine, if gut-wrenching thrill.
Elisabeth Moss and Katherine Waterston play a pair of friends locked in a dysfunctional relationship poisoned by resentment.
At times, the style is very mannered but Moss and Waterston give rich and subtle performances as the two feuding friends who provide a twisted reflection of one another.
This intense, uncompromising psychological drama that harks back to Roman Polanski films of the 1960s.
Alex Ross Perry follows Listen Up Philip with an intense, mumble-heavy tale of fragmenting friendship.
