This film is a masterclass in slow-burn tension. It hits an exquisitely unsettling tone from the beginning, and slowly works its way into the cracks in your foundations until nothing seems stable or reliable. You too will soon be trying to read the tea leaves to scry which signs are significant, and which are red herrings.
The stellar cast isn't selected to be a stacked deck - their true draw is in their chemistry. These old hands ring true, and their star status is quickly dispatched to the background of their excellent performances, their gravitas lending just the right tone to make these characters believable.
A family with problems is forced to mesh with another troubled duo, and everyone holds their cards close to their chests. Trust is a scarce commodity, and as the threads of the familiar unravel, choices about allegiances and priorities need to be made.
It is unclear who the aggressor is, but it is clear that the world's unravelling is of our own doing.
