She embodies a character full of sadness and conflict, who touches within the exposed nerves of the psyche in a way that is both brave and disturbing.

The investigation of the main character is destructive for her and her environment. She uses decisive tactics, but along the way she loses everything.
A film manages to present disturbing answers, alongside many blood-curdling and bouncy moments, which blur our understanding of what exactly the plot is trying to convey. Slowly, Beth loses her sanity and viewers do not know if what she is thinking and seeing is believable or not. The plot lines, unravel as the plot progresses, and manage to close in a logical and satisfying way. The conclusions that Beth reaches also seem to fit the plot line.
