201780 min6.1 / 10

A tense psychological thriller built on the cat-and-mouse dynamic between a psychologist and a brilliant, morally unmoored child, exploring the limits of understanding and control.

Jimmy is a committed child psychologist who uses his own playbook, but when he is brought in to work with Ellie, he is completely unprepared for his subject—a 9-year-old psychopathic genius with nothing to lose. As he begins to understand the extent of her capabilities and the fate that has been planned for her, he struggles to overcome her defenses before it is too late for them both.
