Felt this fell a bit flat for me. Didn’t really like any of the characters very much, which probably didn’t help. At the start the time jumps felt confusing, probably because I didn’t pay enough attention to the months. 
Didnt feel very tense - felt more like a mystery than a thriller. 
I did manage to avoid spoilers (haven’t seen the film) so it kept me guessing right until the end. The end fell a bit flat though - I wanted a bit more from it, all felt a bit pathetic?
