This is a somber movie that I feel goes a little too slow at times with it’s pacing. I didn’t really connect with the film until the final 10 minutes of it. The film explores the cost of knowing something terrible. It was something I never really thought about before and it was done so cleverly in the end. My favorite shot is the one at the cafe where you can see the killer out of focus behind Rex. You just scream out, “HE’S RIGHT THERE!” It’s such a simple shot yet adds so much. The film reminded me a lot of films like THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES (the original one), SEVEN, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, and others that I’ve watched this quarantine like HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER or I SAW THE DEVIL.
