Michelle Pfeiffer delivers a coolly devastating performance in this noir-tinged portrait of a middle-aged Brooklyn woman driven to extremes. Following the death of her mother, Kyra finds herself jobless and heavily in debt. Desperate to keep from losing her apartment, and with the help of her concerned quasi-boyfriend (Sutherland), she resorts to a shocking scheme. Stunningly shot in moody, color-saturated twilight tones, this new film from Andrew Dosunmu (Mother of George, BAMcinemaFest 2013) simmers with slow burn suspense until its shattering conclusion.
