This film weaves a compelling story of ambition, desperation, and tragedy. While it delivers strong performances, particularly from Emilia Clarke and Jack Huston, its execution in storytelling and visuals might not meet everyone’s expectations. The intense plot, based on true events, is both engaging and thought-provoking, although some viewers might find the portrayal of the relationship and its consequences unsettling. Overall, it’s a film that invites reflection on the complexity of human emotions and the consequences of our choices.
