This is a dark, modern-day fairytale you know is lurching further into ridiculousness, but it’s so stylish and well played, that you go along with it anyway.
In what is for the most part a two-hander, Alice Isaaz and Jacqueline Bisset as Julie and Elizabeth are extraordinary good, and the shifting story allows us to view the characters differently as they reveal more about themselves.
For those unable to take the situation seriously, the film does nothing to make events any more palatable. Even at the end, the audience is invited to make up their own minds about what they have just watched. My score is 7 out of 10.
