This movie is making me insane. The way that Tommy’s smile drops as he carries Gabby into this life - because he realizes he’s returning to a life of quasi abuse but at least someone cares about him? or because he knows what he’s bringing Gabby to, abuse for the sake of sobriety?

My kind of movie🤩 love the deep psychological side like father issues and no emotional connection to mother. I wasn’t ever really bored which haven’t happend for a long time

The movie has a lot of plot twists, and I wouldn't really call it a horror more of a thriller. The ending does leave some questions unanswered, but no spoilers.

Good psych thriller. Well shot, well acted, first act and last act was good. Middle might’ve dragged. No idea what the point of the maid was. Stockholm syndrome mixed with moral behavioral therapy mixed with trauma therapy. Good twist.

7/10 Interesting concepts “for all those social media bullies who zone in on vulnerable people’s suffering for pure entertainment value - beware”. Good story, well casted. The story focuses in on the sad side of social media. Worth a watch.

Not a great start when the whole audience is laughing at there being, quite genuinely, 20 or so production company logos…
Things soon picked up though, an excellent opening section that is limited on exposition. More just lets you gather what you need to know on your own accord, which goes for most of the film, you get dribs and drabs of history, but it never outright says it - which I appreciated. The script is a bit nuts, respectable in originality, but nuts nonetheless.
Stephen Graham is such an all-timer actor. He’s gone under appreciated his whole career, so it’s been lovely to see him get his flowers with Adolescence. Anson Boon seriously impressed me though, he was absolutely magnetic. I’ve never hated a character so much, but come to only want the best for him - that’s down to his talent. Always mixed on Riseborough, same here, although I did end up growing fond of what she did.
I really feel like this shouldn’t work, although to be fair, sometimes it doesn’t - especially around the middle. But for the most part it really does, in fact it often soars. Really surprisingly good time.

This movie is great but for me it was ruined by the fact that i have watched ,,decent man’’ miniseries before watching it and beacause of that the plot feels very predictable

I really loved this movie, really unique and not what I was expecting at all. Genuinely surprised and had me thinking about it long after it was done.

This should’ve been categorized as fantasy, because wtf was that ending? The premise was incredible. I was invested, loved the actors, and the cinematography was gorgeous. But Tommy is 19, not 9. He was kidnapped, chained in a basement, physically and psychologically tortured, and tried to escape every chance he got. Then they let him go, he discovers his mother didn’t even report him missing, and somehow decides, “You know what? Those kidnappers actually cared about me.” THEN HE BRINGS HIS GIRLFRIEND TO THEM?! I understand WHY the psychopaths did it. I just don’t understand why the film expects me to believe Tommy would ever willingly go back. Addiction doesn’t erase common sense. Rehab exists. Therapy exists. Help exists. You don’t need to be kidnapped and chained in a basement. This isn’t reality. It’s fantasy.

4/10 it was ok, I wanted it to be much darker. It came off way more light hearted. The random cleaning lady story line did nothing. And the ending was meh

6 / 10 ⭐️.
It started quite slow paced but it did start to pick its pace up, very predictable though! It is a decent Psych thriller.
I wouldn’t say it was amazing but the ending was good.

6.5/10 it was quite suspenseful but I found the plot really unbelievable and it took me out of it the main character is unbearable also and the whole plot with the maid was absolutely pointless the whole film just feels like a waste of time

Honestly just feels like a really tragically sweet story? Not at all the direction I saw this going but I was very impressed. Maybe a little concerning that I am not as disturbed by this as I should be.
The cinematography is really beautiful in this and the performances are phenomenal. Andrea Riseborough stuns as expected but Anson Boon also blew me away.
Overall I think it drags a bit in the middle but I found this to be really enjoyable and wholly unique.
