5.0

Stage's portrayal of an adult mother-daughter relationship manages to be simultaneously relatable and terrifying. She captures the dreamlike uncertainty and isolation of life early in the covid 19 pandemic and it forms the perfect backdrop for the nightmarish tale where both the characters and readers are left uncertain of the bounds of reality.
