Thomasin McKenzie delivers a noteworthy performance as the central character, a reserved prison secretary whose existence feels rather ordinary. Her days involve observing other employees’ romantic encounters and daydreaming about brief affairs before returning to her home with her father, a retired police officer struggling with alcoholism. The introduction of psychologist Rebecca, portrayed by Anne Hathaway, brings some vitality to her monotonous life. This confident and refined woman shows an interest in the secretary, they go out for drinks—there's even a hint of flirtation—before Rebecca reveals a confidential detail about a prisoner accused of murdering his father, raising questions about his mother’s potential involvement in the crime and its underlying reasons. The initial portion of the film, lasting roughly an hour, proves quite captivating, but that feeling of excitement diminishes due to a rushed final thirty minutes where the story feels underdeveloped, and the ending is unsatisfying across multiple aspects. While the performances and script are adequate, they don’t particularly stand out, and I came away from the viewing wondering what the film was ultimately trying to convey. It's visually appealing—it’s clear that considerable attention was paid to its appearance—but I remain unsure of its purpose.
