ThrillerDramaRomance

Pushed to the breaking point by Simon, her psychologically abusive boyfriend, Alice becomes an unwitting participant in an intervention staged by her two closest friends while on vacation. As she rediscovers the essence of herself and gains some much-needed perspective, she slowly starts to fray the cords of codependency that bind her. However, Simon's vengeance is as inevitable as it is shattering, and once unleashed, it tests her strength, her courage, and the bonds of deep-rooted friendships.

VIBE

This film feels like a slow-motion panic attack, a suffocating descent into psychological manipulation. It's a tense, isolating watch that ultimately finds a fragile sense of empowerment through the strength of female bonds.
