A promising debut...

It’s a very stylish piece of work from Hall.

Negga is magnetic as antiheroine Clare; a slinky, charismatic presence with dubious motives and a tinkling laugh, she ingratiates herself into Irene’s life, turning it upside down.

...et lille, lavmælt drama, nærmest et kammerspil.

...en æstetisk mættet og stilfuld film med sine sorthvide toner, som både synes rolige og urovækkende.

...elegant, searing period piece.

A delicate exploration of grey areas.

Rebecca Hall’s exhilarating directorial debut tackles a racial taboo in style.

Jerrod Carmichael delivers a raw, darkly hilarious first film...
