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 Licked Hand
Inspired by the chilling urban legend, trapped in her isolated home during a raging storm, an elderly widow and her loyal dog must fend off a deranged intruder-forcing her to confront the buried trauma of her abusive past.

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.
