A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
Hot Spot
A hot spot is, in geology, a hypothetical zone of magma formation located within the mantle of a planet. At present, knowledge about hot spots is still very incomplete, as is the knowledge about the female orgasm. While Adele has to deal with the funeral of her parents, she experiences an orgasm that never ends.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
