Unfortunately, its superb performances and assured camerawork are overwhelmed by dubious psychology and a cliched climax.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Like the Peeping Tom-paranoia of similar recent films Disturbia and Civic Duty, this finely crafted debut feature by Scottish writer/director Andrea Arnold packs a wallop.
Though it's paced as a thriller, the film ultimately emerges as a haunting exploration of how grief can weigh on us, and the depths to which it can drive us.
A must for movie lovers who want to see how so much drama, mystery and emotion can be created from so little.
For a voyeuristic medium, this tale of a voyeur does a poor job of prying into its own protagonist's life.
