Overview
During a bitter 1964 Massachusetts winter, young secretary Eileen becomes enchanted by Rebecca Saint John, the glamorous new counselor at the prison where she works. Their budding friendship takes a twisted turn when Rebecca reveals a dark secret — throwing Eileen onto a sinister path.
I was absolutely loving this movie for the first hour. Thomasin Mckenzie showed a gear that I didn’t know she had, and Anne Hathaway was completely believable in her role (and in my opinion, never better). I suppose we should have seen the end coming, but for some reason it didn’t work for me. I thought it was true to the direction of the story… I still felt unfulfilled.
