Damn I'm so behind on logging these.
This movie is still incredible. What's funny is so much is made of the lesbian relationship that I feel like it's constantly called out like that's it's defining feature, when in reality it's just an airtight noir thriller that happens to be about a queer relationship.

Honestly brilliant in that regard.
