Critics

Audience

In a dystopian future, a woman is forced into servitude as a concubine under a rigid theocratic dictatorship. As she endures surveillance, control, and separation from her former life, she struggles to preserve her identity and find ways to resist an oppressive society.

My take

You may like this if you enjoy haunting dystopian dramas such as The Man in the High Castle, but Not for you if slow pacing, bleak themes, and intense psychological violence are difficult to watch.
