Soaked in atmosphere, the film is a coming-of-age film focused squarely on the nightmarish reality of loss of innocence told through a visually compelling and horrific tale.
Whilst the main plot centres around the accidental killing of a friend, the repercussions of the act on our main characters is where the tensions builds as they both struggle to fully comprehend what they have done, both in the act and decision to cover it up.
This slowly moulds their relationships with both themselves and others as paranoia, fear, and insanity creep into the forefront. The cinematography only reinforces this bubbling menace, high shots of twisted trees in winter and long, empty streets a perfect metaphor of the slowly warping mental states
- 7.5/10
