Yep, this is very much the type of meaty, morally complex psychological thriller that does it for me, in the same vein as Sharp Objects, Mare of Easttown and Prisoners. Guess what? Violence and trauma tends to beget more violence and trauma.

But uh… the movie kinda sucked? Is that a hot take? This would make for a fantastic miniseries with Jon Bernthal playing Jimmy. Get on it, HBO.
