    The start was okay, but it turned into a pile of shit afterward, or food poisoning and acute gastroenteritis.

    Three and a half. It's not as bad as I imagined, the editing is a bit messy, I feel like I deliberately pulled a few narrative lines to force the style, and the ending is reversed and hastily. The whole is like a poor copycat version of Finch's gone girl, but the three actresses, especially EB Great job, one star
