miller is really terrific, that's not a surprise because she was really good in supporting roles in foxcatchermerican sniper. she was great in ben wheatley‘s high rise. this is the first time i've seen where she's been really able to command the centre stage and she's terrific, she is really great. she plays each section of the character's life completely convincingly. you really do believe in this character. the second thing is, this is directed by jake scott, who does a very good job of backing off exactly when you think the drama is going to overplay its hand. so what you get is a film that is very, very convincing about a lengthy period in somebody‘s life in which something is hanging over them. and the thing it reminded me of slightly is the films of atom egoyan. if you think about things like the sweet hereafter or exotica. atom egoyan is very good at making films that exist within the aftermath of something. and i definitely got that feeling from this. really upsetting? well, because her central character is indomitable and has this very vibrant spirit, and yes, she is shouldering a hug
