But when this inner monologue suddenly vanishes, Dark Voice (Olivia Cooke) takes its place, urging her to make rash decisions. It’s a thrilling ride, aided by haunting performances and a hallucinatory score, that will leave you questioning your own impulses and the impossible standards we hold ourselves to.
