Great performance from the lead. I felt her fear and anxiety the entire runtime. My wife and I were both felt so stressed and empathetic to the protagonists suffering.

After sitting with the ending overnight, I also really enjoyed it. It leaves me feeling happy, oddly enough.

Perhaps my favorite horror from Sundance? Censor was good too.

Give it a watch and stress out with our hero!

Well not really - on the other hand what do I know? Not that much to be truthful. I could tell you what happens at the end of the movie - but it would be - well there are certain ways to interpret what actually happens or rather happened there (and before).

The central performance is qute something. Yes this is a slow burning independent movie - I don't think this should come as a surprise. Neither that it uses certain proven tropes (or I guess you could call them "cliches"). Still and because of that powerful performance and because the movie keeps you guessing ... this may tickle your interest. And if it does and it manages to tickle all the right parts ... you will be entertained - for sure.

Having said that, you have to be in the mood for this. And for possible explanations. I read one about the ending and I have to admit that ... well it's not that I disagree, but whoever wrote that, seems too certain to know what the ending meant and how we should interpret it ... I on the other hand am telling you ... you can read it exactly opposite to what I read and what someone else wrote. So if ambiguity does not get you annoyed, I can recommend the movie for sure.

After her release from psychiatric care, a woman's attempt to settle into a new apartment is disturbed by a series of upsetting events.

Not-so-tight psychological thriller that left me unsatisfied. The main strength is the lead performance, which presents a difficult character who causes everyone around to take a step back. Plenty of close-ups, and a couple of scenes where psychotic-breaks are represented by body-cam focused on the actor's face as she moves around.

The story tries to have the apartment block stand in for society, with its well-meaning but uncomprehending reaction to the protagonist's deteriorating state. But it also seems to stand for her own psyche, as she insists that a woman is dying within its walls. It might have helped if we knew what she was actually missing through the unspecified tragedy in the flashbacks. Just companionship? But why would that induce psychosis? In the end the story seems to insist that the experience was all literally true, and does it through voice-over rather than imagery - not a great way to finish off a piece of cinema.

Just too many discrepancies left for me - am I supposed to believe the other residents and the social services were in bad faith? - and I always thinks it's a mistake for a psychic story to insist on literal truth, because it takes away the nuance that allows meaning to find a place in the gaps in the official version.

The editing is good, but the pace was a bit of a drag, mostly because the woman's behaviour became tiresome. Music and sound design created good tension.

Overall: Simple story that sedated its own psychology.
