It is, like weather, what it is, neither good nor bad but something that feels as if it has the weight of the inevitable.

fresh:
Jeffs' meticulous framing nicely counterpoints all the messy turmoil, and her screenplay flows with the cadences of life.

Jeffs creates a lush atmosphere of desire and approaching chaos, and delivers a bona fide shocker in the last reel.
