The Grift

A 1940's period drama about a small-town family of grifters including a beautiful daughter haunted by childhood trauma.

My take

A dark, atmospheric period piece that pulls you into the morally gray world of Depression-era con artists. Tense and psychologically layered, it's built on family secrets and the kind of trauma that follows you across decades.
