In the first half of the movie a teenager (Anna/Sarah) seduces a middle aged man (Tristan), a subject that has been explored in many other films. However, by the second half the story veers into far darker and more complex territory.
There are actually three movies: the same story is told (or seen) by Tristan, then Anna, then Rachel, Tristan's wife. Many scenes are seen twice or three times, depending on whether two of the main characters or all three are involved. Each character has partial information, partly different than the information that the others have. In the end we finally understand what happened but not completely; for instance, exactly when does Rachel know what's happening? This is not a criticism; real life has plenty of loose ends.
Director and scriptwriter Cheyenne Carron handles this complex material with flair and good pacing, although perhaps credibility is strained here and there. Good production values. Excellent acting by all concerned.
