No pun intended - and really not as easy to read ... in more than one sense. This is true for the main character, but also the message the movie is sending and telling us. The director had a video message for the festival I watched this - and he basically told us that it is a slow burn movie. What he didn't tell us: that it is a movie that will either be loved or hated (maybe hate is too much - but as tough to decode as our main character is, as tough it is to anticipate the reaction of any potential viewer).
What is it that makes serial killers so enticing for some people? I don't think you will find answers to that here. You will not find easy answers for anything here actually. You may find something you see in this movie ... and the performances. And that is how it is played too. We project our feelings, our emotions to the main character(s). And while the movie never shows explicit scenes (of violence), we do get audio snippets of it ... which is more than enough ... actually maybe too much for some ... because imagination is wilder than anything that can be shown ... just be sure you are not too sensitive when it comes to stuff like that.
Even if you are annoyed by the movie (and there is a good chance), you cannot fault the main actress who dishes out one of the best performances of the year - or last year, whatever you want to call it. Not an easy movie at all ... but quite the intriguing one to say the least.
