This is an interesting and edgy film, with a very convincing turn by Buckley who convinces as a genuinely disturbed young woman who is alienated by her snobby controlling family. She meets the roguish and handsome Pascal who gives her excitement and freedom away from her family. The backdrop is a serial killer and Pascal is in the frame. There is an interesting but where she is convinced he is the killer and offers him forgiveness and love. It does appear he confesses just to please her but this leads to a sudden ending which feels rather like the scriptwriter walked off or they ran out of money. Shame.
