I don’t really like the phrase “tour de force”, but I can’t think of any other way to describe Margaret Qualley’s performance in this. Christopher Abbott is great too, and they work so well together, but Qualley steals the show.
The whole film works really well, as well. The single location makes it feel intimate but confining; the camera work is at times playful but also a bit off-balance. The script is both superficially horny yet also pretty deep and heartfelt.
