Film Details

Rising writer-director Alex Ross Perry follows his acclaimed comedy-dramas The Color Wheel and Listen Up Philip with a caustic, funny/chilling portrait of a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Elisabeth Moss plays that woman, a budding basket case whose father has committed suicide and whose lover has dumped her. She retreats to the lakeside house of her best friend (Katherine Waterston of Inherent Vice). But the bucolic setting does not provide the needed rest and recuperation. “An unnerving, acidly funny work that fosters an acute air of dread without ever fully announcing itself as a horror movie.” –Variety.
