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.
The redemption journey of Moll O'Hara, a woman struggling with alcoholism and a challenging past. Moll, rescued from a life of drinking and fighting by Ruth Thompson, a settlement worker, finds love with Bill Hubbell, a saloon-keeper, and embraces a new life free from alcohol. However, her past and a rival, Douglas Ames, threaten her happiness.

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.
