This is a a good film of clashing themes; sweet and sugary and bitter and malevolent.
Despite my irrational negative reaction, in general, to Carey Mulligan, I decided to watch this film.
It was a really interesting film to watch. I liked the interplay between the characters. Cassie at home, Cassie at work, Cassie falling in love, all lovely vignettes.
Then you have the off-kilter vengeful Cassie.
The use of colours, from the gaudy pinks, to the soft pinks and pale blues to the sinister blacks and bright red lipstick, to denote different aspects of the story, were commendable.
The music choices were spot on.
The screenplay and acting was excellent.
A surprising film, with a strong message; how easy it is to look away and accept the unacceptable.
A film that sneaks up on you, nothing is shoved down your throat, but you get it.
