The film, directed by Lynne Ramsay, follows a young couple, Jackson and Grace, who move into a remote home full of potential yet lurking danger. Initially filled with hope for a serene life away from the city, their excitement soon dissolves into unease as Grace's mental health deteriorates after experiencing motherhood. The director employs a dynamic visual style that reflects their descent into chaos and the psychological toll of isolation, highlighting how personal struggles intertwine with the environment, culminating in a haunting narrative of unfulfilled aspirations and dark realities.
Ramsay does not make films about people who easily triumph over their darkest, most self-destructive moments. Instead, she explores the dangers of unmooring from relationships.
As if her senses have heightened against her will, she begins to feel poisoned by her environment, beginning a long descent into depressive psychosis.
