Our take

From Saverio Constanzo, whose Hungry Hearts took home several prizes for actors Alba Rohrwacher and Adam Driver, this young-adult gothic romance ambitiously, and successfully, shuffles multiple timelines to explore the relationship between two introverts. With a scene-stealing Isabella Rossellini!
