Directed by Benedict Andrews, this gripping drama stars Rooney Mara as Una, a young woman who confronts the traumatic past she has spent years trying to escape. When she tracks down Ray (played by Ben Mendelsohn), the older man who once had an illicit relationship with her when she was thirteen, Una forces a tense, emotionally charged reunion that unravels long-buried secrets and painful truths. Ray, now living under a new identity and married to a woman who knows nothing of his past, is forced to reckon with the consequences of his actions as Una demands answers. The film unfolds largely in a single, claustrophobic setting, creating an atmosphere of raw, unflinching intimacy that explores themes of memory, guilt, and the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator. With powerful performances from Tobias Menzies, Indira Varma, and Riz Ahmed in supporting roles, this adaptation of David Harrower's acclaimed play is a haunting, provocative examination of trauma that lingers long after the credits roll.
