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.
A wealthy man with a circle of friends falls seriously ill. The son quickly arrives with his fiancée, who discovers that he left her in a hotel and went to see his father alone. His father scolds him when he learns that he completed his engagement without seeing his fiancée and insists on seeing her. The son returns to the hotel and does not find his fiancée, so he agrees with a girl to play the role of his fiancée.

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.
