Of course, he denies it, and for whatever reason she has decided to stick by him, but resentment and buried emotion pervade her every pore. After a\u00a0murky incident with Magnus, Maria flees to Exmoor and is left to ruminate on her life past, present and future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Director Caroline Ingvarsson\u2019s atmospheric, low-key Swedish British-Polish character study\u00a0kicks things off strong, slowly drip-feeding us the details surrounding the incident through Magnus\u2019s behaviour towards Maria and other women. The film is best when it focuses on the more intimate psychological elements of the narrative and the dangerous, destructive nuance of sexual assault and its ripple effects.\u00a0Yet screenwriters Michelle Marshall and H\u00e5kan Nesser sadly rely on clunky plot devices instead of opting for a\u00a0subtler investigation between Maria\u2019s physical body and her connection to the evocatively dour windswept moors. There\u2019s heavy exposition despite both Ingvarsson and cinematographer Michal Dymek managing to capture the bleak yet serene nature of the landscape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"my-10 bg-[var(--color-background-accent)] font-primary text-[16px] font-bold rounded-[16px] p-8\">\n<h3 class=\"!mb-4 text-[24px]\">Get more Little White\u00a0Lies<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>However, Turestedt is quietly superb in the lead and she carries the film\u2019s themes on her shoulders with Jack-in-the-box tension, her veneer as a\u00a0successful Swedish television presenter mimicking the repression she\u2019s facing in her life.
