The acting and direction were really well-measured and nuanced. I think the three leads will be Oscar nominees. As the aftermath to a sexual crime, I knew it would be disturbing and every scene has a tension that is cut short just before it becomes fatiguing. The characters are revealed as immature adults desperate for connections that they can't achieve because they can't even be honest with themselves. This is a piece of difficult, thoughtful filmmaking.
