A withdrawn 12-year-old named Alice becomes the prime suspect when her favored younger sister is found brutally murdered in a church. As suspicion closes in, the film questions whether a child could commit such violence, or if Alice is being wrongly accused.
Cindy says
A genuinely unsettling proto-slasher that trusts its audience to sit with ambiguity. Sole crafts real dread from jealousy and class anxiety rather than jump scares, and Paula Sheppard's performance as Alice is disturbingly layered—you're never quite sure what you're watching, which is exactly the point.
