The film's dual storyline, involving a woman revisiting her past through her ex-husband's disturbing novel, is praised for its intense emotional depth and complex narrative structure. However, opinions are mixed regarding the pacing and some find the thematic execution heavy-handed. The ending, particularly, is noted for its impactful, yet divisive, ambiguity.
