If you do not enjoy watching the portrayal of toxic mind games, you should probably avoid this film. But here's a few things you can get by watching it.

1. Brilliant dialogue with simple and clever lines. The writer is really good at revealing the context through the dialogue.

2. Great acting with a mixture of pro and amateur actors.

3. Sad but captivating stories about relationships that are supposed to provide the daily dose of emotional support (parent-child, companions, lovers), but only deliver rage and despair. Funny thing, the only harmonic couple in the movie is one that is not united by love, but rather the feeling of loss, and the appetite for revenge.

4. Really intimate camerawork showing mostly closeups, which is probably due to the low budget of the movie, but works well with the topic, because it creates a claustrophobic atmosphere.

Overall, an excellent film about loneliness, and the daily struggle with finding some meaning in life.

There are lots of good things about this series. It's clever, it's mysterious, it's well written and acted, it's nicely shot. And there are lots of good stories stuffed into the six episodes. It's a series about loss and grief, mental illness, family drama, religious cults, power relations, revenge, evil plots, full out mysteries.

And it works, kind of, but applying the little goes a long way principle would have helped the show quite a bit. It is probably not the best idea to mix all your favourite drinks into one single cocktail. I particularly enjoyed the cult plotline, and based on the title I think this is the main storyline of the show, but I can understand the mixed reviews, as those, who had focused on other plotlines, may or may not got closure by the end of the show.

Charlotte (played well by Ine Marie Wilmann) has a lot of mommy/daddy/brother/family issues, but she tries hard to hide them and live a normal life. As it turns out, the road to normalcy leads her to even weirder places. The plot is unimportant, the dialogue is not particularly inspiring either; and while the production value is also high, the atmosphere is what makes this movie good. Loneliness and emotional confusion are portrayed well; if you like movies about human weirdness you will probably like this one as well.
