PUNQ

Rated 27 Nov 2021

When I picked this one, I was expecting something dull and British. It certainly was British, but I was drawn to the mystery of this Jewish girl with amnesia. Apart from a climax that could have been handled better for the reveal, the gradual build-up did lure me in and made me care. This simply fit my mood.
