Compulsion

CriticsCritics: 24
AudienceAudience: 4.6

A chef becomes fascinated by her reclusive neighbor, a former child actress struggling with a troubled past. As their relationship grows increasingly intense and destructive, a detective investigates what happened between them, while the story explores obsession, loneliness, food, and the uncertain line between reality and imagination.

My take

You may enjoy this if you prefer slow, strange psychological dramas about troubled relationships and ambiguous reality; Not for you if you want fast thrills, naturalistic dialogue, or straightforward storytelling.
