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.
Comedy about a woman who hosts a radio talk-show who turns thirty and worries about not having a husband. With the help of her gay brother, she places an personal advert in the local paper and meets a charming dentist. Unfortunately, she finds out he is married, and her brother also falls for him.

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.
