This low budget thriller from Belgium is not about big shocking twists but rather has a plot that keeps gently folding back on itself so that scenes you've seen, sometimes multiple times, are shown again but only very slightly tweaked - from a different camera angle or from the perspective of a different character, offering up a slight extra detail that elucidates an earlier ambiguity - and the effect is that the rather nasty story at the movie's heart, about a married woman's affair and her husband's reaction to it - like a Grimm fairytale played out for realsies - keeps a gentle hook in you, making you certain to watch to the end where again a little extra piece of information tweaks, doesn't earthshake, the whole.
★★★★☆
