The actors show all very good performances! The story, the dialoges, the acting, the reality shifts, the tension, the wonderful scenery etc etc.
KIDMAN shows again what an exceptional actress she is taking in consideration that her role as Masha is very demanding: Not only must she convince the patients that she is able to help and heal them, manage a resort, tell their employees what to do, but she has also has a journalist in the back of her neck and must give the character Masha a russian background and accent. Furthermore is she a lover and a friend and she has her own traumatic experience that is one of the worst one can have.
Not many actors and actresses could pull such a role off. Kidman not only pulls it off, she shows so many facets and gives Masha so many layers that you never know what's coming next. Is she crazy, is she traumatized? How far will she go to reach her goal?
One scene in this episode stands out: Nicole Kidman is sitting on the edge of a cliff next to the wonderful and incredible Melissa McCarty and reveals her secret. This scene with Melissa and Nicole gets under your skin.
One very small critical point:
I would love to see Nicole Kidman at her age with a few wrinkles here and there in her face. Its beginning to distract me and that's sad, because she is an exceptional actress.
