Despite being more of a stage play than a movie, this oddly titled film managed to capture my attention for its entire duration. It is a character study, mainly of Ginny, played by the incredibly talented Kate Winslet. Kate Winslet knocks this movie out of the park, and although she is a very unlikable character, her acting chops are on full display and her character's writing is complicated and morally grey. The film is really about her more than anything, and if it was a play, I have a feeling it would have been met with praise.
The colors and sets in this film are also something to behold - the cinematography is top notch and the color correction and lighting is on point.
