Loved this movie! A real boundary stretcher. So hard to find something where I can’t predict what’s going to happen next. Stellar acting. Moves along. Ben Afflec totally nails playing a brooding, confident, intelligent psychopath. Ana de Armas, his self absorbed beautiful, sexy wife, who drinks too much and is totally unapologetic about her need for constant attention. It’s a super sick relationship trying to look normal. Lots of friends, kid in school. Looked it up to see what the story was based on - a book written in the 1950’s & seems to be updated maybe to the 1980’s. I may have to watch it again and think of it from that perspective. Other reviewers talk about the characters poor communication skills, or missing the construct of their relationship. In the 50’s society , marriage, sexuality all very suppressed in that era. And no dna testing- police weren’t as smart. 😉 2.4 stars? Oh well, not for everyone I guess.
