What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Lizzie’s mourning becomes inseparable from her conviction that Claire’s daughter may be her own deceased child.
Lizzie’s attention to Claire’s household escalates into stalking and home invasion around suburban family life.
Lizzie’s grief and deteriorating grasp on reality make her interpretation of the child and surrounding events persistently uncertain.
Swimming pools, homes, and family routines are presented as emotionally charged spaces rather than safe refuges.
