★★★½ Watched 22 Jan 2023

Starts out a bit "Saint Maude" and then slowly (verrrry slowly) turns folk horror giallo revenge-y.

I think a lot of people are going to want answers from this film, and to do deep readings of its themes (grief, relationships). But I don't really think fairy tales need answers. Sure, some fairy tales are morality stories with a clear lesson, but an equal number of them are just about random horrible things happening to people, who either die or have to get on with their lives.
