This low-key drama involves elements of mystery as a young woman struggles with years of devastation and despair from a childhood incident. She is now in a seriously disturbed state and seems to be facing incipient mental breakdown. The story traces her ordeal with fears, disbelief from others and thwarted memories. Technically the film is very well made and shot (with the DP making the most of the beautiful Hudson Valley scenery). There are excellent performances from the lead players and cast. Elizabeth Lail and Hannah Westerfield are remarkably convincing as the 'older' and 'younger' versions of the main character. The movie is not a thriller or action drama and there are a few stretched coincidences in the plot but overall it holds together as a credible and satisfying story.
