Reviews from Letterboxd

1. SilentDawn – ★★★★☆
   “Cold, meticulous, and psychologically unsettling. Haynes brings out razor-sharp performances from Portman and Moore, while Charles Melton quietly devastates.”

2. carson – ★★★★½
   “An eerie, beautifully composed look at performance and memory. The tension bubbles beneath every glance. Charles Melton gives a heartbreakingly quiet performance.”

3. sarah – ★★★☆☆
   “Striking, but the pacing was slow at times. Portman is phenomenal, though. A fascinating concept that doesn’t always deliver.”

4. logan – ★★★★☆
   “Feels like Persona meets The Bling Ring—slick, chilling, and deeply reflective. I love how uncomfortable it makes you without being overtly confrontational.”

5. noahj – ★★★★☆
   “There’s something sinister behind every polite exchange. The way it plays with the idea of ‘truth’ in acting is really smart. A cold but compelling drama.”
