Trivia
Anna Kendrick (Alice) spoke to PEOPLE about the role and is quoted as saying: "I was coming out of a personal experience with emotional abuse and psychological abuse," she shares, recalling the time she first came across the screenplay. "I think my rep sent it to me, because he knew what I'd been dealing with and sent it along. Because he was like, 'This sort of speaks to everything that you've been talking to me about.' " She did not name the boyfriend, though she said it was "recent;" she had ended a public six-year relationship with cinematographer Ben Richardson in 2020 and a relationship of a year or two with Bill Hader in June 2022.

Goofs
There's a sex scene towards the end of the movie between Anna Kendrick's character and her partner. When they're on the floor he clearly has bare legs. Next second right after he stands up he has black trousers on.

Quotes
Alice: I know this sounds crazy, but sometimes it feels like he can read my mind and there's nowhere left that I can actually be alone.

Toxic, narcissists beware!

Anna Kendrick is excellent in the lead as Alice a verbally abused and scared young woman in a relationship with a bullish twat who coercive controls her, not physically but it could certainly end up that way.

The looks that Ms Kendrick displays is both chilling and touching and the scenes where she 'lets go' with her two friends is like a breath being exhaled, a stark contrast to the scenes where 'Simon' is around where it's tense and awaiting something negative to happen.

I felt how I used to when Dad was drinking, just waiting for something to spur him on.... The location by the lake are great (? Used in The Sopranos Home Movies episode) and whilst the sub plot with the missing girl was under developed , this is a well done drama that those who are controlling should watch and those who are controlled to ( hopefully) do something about it.

Thank God Alice had two good, dependent friends- like Mum was to Diane Cleare back in the early 90s!
