A Thousand Little Cuts

This is a subtle yet high-tension script centered on an important topic - domestic abuse.

Marina Sirtis, of whom we've seen too little in recent years, pulls together the center of this plot. A focused mental health professional faithfully pursues the patient's presentation to determine what actually happened, and who is responsible.

Rebecca Liddiard gives us an exquisitely layered series of interpretations, as her character remembers, bit by bit. And Josh Brandon's intriguing approach to both script and direction allows viewers to discover for themselves the underlying truth of these events.

Films like this are rightly receiving renewed attention at IMDb. Sentinel topics, skillful producers and writers, and top drawer actors - this is a viewer's time well spent.
