On the border between a yay and a nay as a film, but it's a good enough acting showcase (particularly for Holly Hunter and Carrie Coon, and luckily they're the leads here, which sadly isn't always the case with the films they do) with a strong enough hook of a premise to play around in that I'd say it's generally worth watching even if it's not extraordinary or particularly remarkable in where it goes.

Some moments are just overly cliche (an argument ending in a slap when something too truthful is said!) and head-tilting (Hunter walks away from a fairly powerful scene, says something baffling out loud to herself that kinda deflates the whole thing) sometimes cause hiccups to the fairly successful and subdued emotional hum the film operates on.

All I know is it's been a very good TIFF for me if this is likely the weakest film I've seen at it.
