Such a strange, almost polarising film. I’d definitely compare it to Burning(2018), in terms of how the narrative is constructed and how it doesn’t tell you everything until crucial points. Even to the point of the characters. However in Ema the Steven Yuen like character, is the protagonist, that the audience follows throughout. However subverting it again, Ema seems to win in her own warped reality and gets what she wants as opposed to Ben from Burning who (spoilers).
But she gets what she wants in a really quite disturbing and manipulative way... and you kind of still back her, even though it was her and her husbands failure in the first place.
Quite an amazing experience really
