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.
1998: After being committed to a drunkard's home by her friend Uschi, Edith is released 16 years later. Now she can finally take revenge on Uschi - by mixing mutation powder into her drink. But things turn out differently than expected! By coincidence, the two get into a timeslip and Uschi wins millions in the lottery, which she uses to buy a house with her mother and husband. Strange things start to happen there after the mutation powder takes effect...

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.
