This isn't a crash bang wallop drama, this is a well acted character piece. That doesn't mean it is artsy and weird . It is told from a present and past split narrative and love the way they differentiate between the two with the screen size and how they use it in the story later on.
I like the short episodes so it doesn't feel dragged out. Julia Roberts is fantastic in the role and it was a really strong performance. Her friendship with the lead male character is perfect and effortless. I know we shouldn't judge a female act by her appearance but I wanted to acknowledge how great it is to see her looking so natural , which you don't see with many male or female actors these days. I think it makes her performance better and just makes me respect her more.
The story is simple but effective, the cinematography and styling is really good and the music has an 80's thriller feel about it which, again, I really liked. It was a step away from the really swish , shiny thrillers out there.
Also a really good satisfying ending.
