Review
This disruptive, provocative flick is
structured like a crime-drama – a suicidal single resident, a home
intrusion, a violent sexual assault and off we go – but writer/star Jacqueline Wright and the director named Adrian Cruz never let
anything settle, never let you feel that you've got it all figured out.
They somehow manage to elevate their seemingly simple story and
arguably even simpler production values into a multifaceted
dissection of morality, power struggles and various implications of
sexual deviance. Jacqueline Wright obviously knows which buttons to
push, and she pushes them to save her life (or at least her
career), but out from her blatant dabblings into exploitation territory
quite a few interesting thoughts emerge. The interplay between
Wright and Brad Carter, who plays the youngest of the intruders, is
at times stirring.
