I mean, there’s this whole vibe where you’re always questioning everyone’s intentions. nina and Andrew are not your typical “rich and glamorous” types. They carry this weight of their own issues, which makes them feel a bit more real, maybe even relatable in their complexity.

you see her trying to navigate this opulent world,and it's like she’s both a part of it and an outsider. The way she interacts with Nina,who is both nurturing and manipulative,is a crucial part of the story. It’s hard not to get drawn into that complicated dynamic. You kind of feel for Millie,yet you question her choices. does she really think she can play in this high stakes game without getting burned? Visually,it’s pretty striking,too. The cinematography does a great job of reflecting the mood. The lavish house feels both inviting and suffocating at the same time, like it holds too many secrets within its walls. The lighting is often dim,which adds to that eerie feeling. you could say it almost mirrors Millie’s own sense of being trapped there’s beauty in it, but there’s darkness lurking just beneath the surface. But then again, some of the twists in the story feel a bit predictable. I mean, you can kinda see where it’s all headed after a while. Maybe it’s just me, but it felt like a couple of the plot points were just there to keep the suspense going rather than adding depth to the characters. There’s this fine line between creating a gripping mystery and just tossing in random twists to keep us guessing. Still,the way the narrative dives into themes like power dynamics and the fragility of trust is interesting.
