I totally disagree with the 1-star reviews. This is the first movie I've ever watched on "Amazon Prime" that not only wasn't awful - it was actually totally engrossing and thought-provoking. I especially loved Hannah's accent, and Ethan's twink boyfriend. The actress who plays Lisa is particularly good, but all of the acting is vastly superior to what one typically finds in a low-budget film. (Or even most high-budget films, for that matter!) Anyone with personal experience of living in a home where domestic violence is the norm, will agree that the scenes between Hannah and Jake are disturbingly realistic. Very well done. The script could have benefitted from some tighter editing. I also felt that Arran's Jekyll-and-Hyde-like behavior in his interactions with Julie didn't ring true. It's hard to say if this is due to the acting, or the writing. Aside from these minor issues, this is a well-written and brilliantly-executed story that held my attention from beginning to end. Highly recommended.
