Excellent directorial debut for Carlo Mirabella-Davis who stages a film with a great form always in line with the narrative.
The protagonist Hunter is married and lives in this bourgeois house but immediately thanks to some shots where the protagonist is always dominated by the painting, we understand that there is something dystopian, she is never at ease and even with her husband the relationship is distant and this is always highlighted by shots with barriers and with large spaces between the two .
In fact the scenography is similar to that of a doll's house or advertisements, a perfect house where the individual (Hunter) is always dominated and this fuels a certain tension in the viewer, a bit like in Rosemary's Baby by Polanski.
The disease of pica (eating objects) is also very interesting, which in reality is the only moment in which the protagonist manages to be happy. This is also very functional for how you get there, Hunter is isolated, oppressed and therefore finds her escape in this "disturbance".
As Hunter begins to believe more in herself, the direction of the film will also change and will focus more on close-ups precisely to underline the concept and will use a lot of hand-held camera to give that feeling of everyday life and no longer of disorientation.
So a film that talks about loneliness but also about the problems of the past and how to deal with them.
Excellent performance by the director who shows he has a hand and good taste for staging always at the service of the narrative and development of the film.
