This is just a really good ghost story. I loved the gothic vibe of it, and how it felt so isolated and self-contained. It takes place in the 1940s, but has a Victorian Gothic style to it. Nicole Kidman was just fantastic as she becomes more determined to protect her children from danger and being more paranoid about ghostly presences in their house by the sea. She is fixed with worry over her husband in the war, her children with their light sensitivity diseases, and feeling stuck in her own head. It’s spooky and eerie and I adore it.
