Serves up psychological thrills while presenting a stereotypical portrait of a fraying woman, then subverting it by unpacking the substantial reasons for her seeming instability.
Full reviewNoomi Rapace starts to lose the plot when she begins believing that her late daughter may still be alive in this drama-thriller co-starring Luke Evans and Yvonne Strahovski (The Predator).
"Seven years after the death of her daughter, Lizzie locks eyes on a sight she thought she’d never see again: a girl, Lola, who is the spitting image of her own lost child. As she battles for custody of her surviving son, Lizzie’s obsession with Lola only grows – befriending the young girl’s mother, following her everywhere and forcing long-held secrets out into the open."

Full reviewThe Australian adaptation is not quite a success, nor fully a failure. Some of its weaknesses come from the original.
Full reviewAngel of Mine is available to stream in New Zealand now on Google Play and Apple TV.
