This was more painful than I expected to listen for the domestic abuse. There aren’t many descriptions of the actual scenes of abuse, and they aren’t in great detail, but there are frequent reminders and we see in the past and present what the public dynamic is, which is so realistic and painful and frustrating and unfair and so, so sad.
So even though the content warning is accurate that there’s minimal explicit domestic violence, there’s so much surrounding it and so much of other people judging victimhood and innocence and the way that people are sort of brought up in our patriarchal society to protect men’s reputations at all women’s costs and the horrific gaslighting. It’s just really heavy even though technically there’s not much DV. I was also just so conscious the whole time about how this took place in Texas and how this would probably be a really unsafe place for a woman to be abused and ever tell law enforcement.
Thriller-wise, I thought it was well paced and was consistently intense. Mystery-wise, I would argue that this wasn’t the kind of mystery that the audience could solve until the protagonist figured it out. And the clues primarily came from recovered memories of the night in question, one scene at a time, which felt a bit overly convenient occasionally.
