With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and anyone who loves a will-they-won't-they. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Fans of Gaslight or Insomnia should feel right at home. The chemistry carries it.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1929: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you want something to relax to.
A jealous barber's assistant becomes enraged by the attentions the manicurist he's obsessed with and a repeat customer pay to one another.
