    6/10
    Definitely Not a 10, Definitely Not below 5
    I have to wonder if people who give 10s so gratuitously have any idea what a movie would have to be like to be given a 10/10. The acting in this one is superb, but a slow pace should not be confused with suspense. My wife and I both have backgrounds in mental health care and it held our attention to see how it would play out. however, it's not a film we'd watch again or really recommend as it's just another one of those pieces, that you watch and throw out.
