Everyone in it is strong, convincing, immersed in their role. The writing and directing is on a very high level here with scenes melting into the next, your mind entwined in a fascinating yet disturbing character you can't predict. This is what movies SHOULD be like yet rarely are. They place you right there, breathing every nuance of the plot.
I'd like to call attention to the real surprise and that is the boy who is so boldly there yet has many layers he works with. His acting is so good its hard to believe. Even close up shots are riveting and real, never any deviation from the character and the moment. I can't ever recall ever seeing a child act so convincingly and I've been watching movies for many decades. This is next level stuff folks.
