Mancinelli and Sims-Fewer, making their feature debut, eschew a linear narrative structure, building suspense through a story that jumps forward and backward in time, using subtle details- like Greta’s hair- to signify the scene’s placement in the chronology. It effectively keeps the viewer as off-balanced as Miriam, but it can also make it a little unwieldy at moments. The directors also toggle back and forth between dreamlike surrealism and stark authenticity. In the devastating inciting act, Mancinelli and Sims-Fewer rely heavily on sound to convey the profound depth of the horror. Sounds of the act itself and the ambient wilderness make an exquisitely beautiful yet disturbing way to showcase a victim’s need to check out to survive mentally
