Carey Mulligan is at her ice-cold best as a scheming sociopath in this fearless unpicking of entitlement and victimhood
— The Guardian
an exquisite film, altogether knottier than its trailer would have you believe. Shot with playful precision, it is a psychological drama inside a revenge fantasy inside a romcom.
