Sinekatalog’s take
A high school teacher begins an affair with a student, and the film watches her control erode in cool, uncomfortable detail. The restrained style is its strength, though its distance can feel chilly. A sober, unsettling pick for those who prefer ambiguity to judgment.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
