60This film is only for those with strong constitutions and a penchant for painstaking details.
-
Too bad the director blows it with a last act that tips the film's delicate balance over into lurid grotesquerie, even as his staging remains as consciously muted as ever.
-
50This stylistic restraint may help deflect accusations of exploitation (though the film's two pivotal sex scenes both feel uncomfortably extended, the initial crime lasting a squirm-inducing six minutes), but it also impedes our connection with the victims.
-
The film's horrifying experience looms over each well-constructed frame without anywhere to go.
