Ooh this one was a bit intense.
Jennifer Lawrence puts in a stunning performance as a new mother, with postnatal depression spiralling into dangerous madness. Her and Robert Pattinson’s sexy, carefree lives have taken an abrupt turn. The ranch of dead uncle Frank has become a prison. The baby is crying. The dog is howling.
Throughout this film Lawrence is absolutely captivating and terrifying. She spins, wild-eyed and cackling from one scene to the next, a frenzied nervous energy always on the brink of explosion.
I nearly didn’t see this - it sounded heavy, more than thrilling - but I’m so glad I did. Absolute edge-of-the-seat stuff, and surely the best thing Lawrence has done so far.
