Movie Haiku:Amelia (Davis) comes undone in this excellent Australian drama about a young widow locked in a deteriorating co-dependency with her young son (Wiseman). Is it a psychological thriller or a horror flick? I choose to think shrink because writer/director Kent carefully sets the timeframe before events get nuts, but you choose! NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
