The low reviews claiming "this movie was so boring," "nothing happened," "it didn't even make sense," and "it wasn't even a thriller" are from men who expected to be spoon fed an obvious murder mystery thriller.
Rather, the film's suspense lies in the dangers of being a woman in the world, the unease of being the target of the aggressive male gaze, how women have to navigate protecting their safety while placating potentially dangerous men. Additionally, the film played with the idea of trust: can you trust the other women around you to help keep you safe? Can you trust your instincts?
If you watched this and thought it was "stupid," "a waste of time," "pointless," or "senseless," maybe pause and imagine what it is like going through life in someone else's shoes.
