ALL THE PRETTY LITTLE HORSES

A well-made, deeply embedded report from the exhausted end of the last crisis, while we’re in the teething stages of a whole new one.
Variety

A slow-ticking time bomb of a drama: even when it basks in brief moments of seeming domestic harmony, or just depicts daily slices of home life, the knowledge that trouble and trauma will fracture the film’s sunny facade remains ever-present.
Screendaily

A paranoid psychological thriller about a married couple trying to rebuild their life
