I don't know if anyone here has seen 2015's Carol, but it's fantastic, and this is pretty much that, except if, say, Fincher or Scorsese took a swing. It's simple, sexy, moody, and peculiar - that is, until the final act, when it goes from psychological noir to full-on thriller, which is sure to rub some people the wrong way. Personally, though, I found it to be a such a fun and compelling twist. I could have easily used another 20 minutes or so throughout - it definitely leaves you wanting more, in both good and not so good ways - but at a tight hour-and-a-half, if anything, it's absolutely worth the relatively quick time commitment. Not to mention, it looks incredible, paints such a perfectly bleak/authentic atmosphere (1960s small-town Massachusetts in the dead of winter), and the three leads - Thomasin McKenzie, Anne Hathaway, and Shea Whigham - all knock it out of the park.
Theatrically, it's out in limited release this weekend, but will surely be on digital within the next month or so, and I highly recommend checking it out by either means...
