Jodie foster is brilliant as Liz Danvers and the supporting cast are excellent and very believable.
The journey is an emotional one with floored difficult characters and a view of American big business and its treatment of indigenous peoples which will make some people feel defensive and uncomfortable.
It uses the detective genre to highlight how marginalised some communities are and the inherent inequalities that exist within American society. Again that won't always sit well with some people, even the more enlightened might be curling their toes on occasion.
That said I think it's a fascinating narrative arc that has a good eye for detail and atmosphere.
The supernatural stuff is possibly the weakest part but this will depend upon our belief systems as to how we respond to it.
Overall it is brilliant and I am very glad to have watched something of this quality.
