Anne stews over her coworker’s helpful reminders to adhere to the strict work guidelines in caring for the children at work when she’d rather just play pretend with them. Yet as the film goes on, this artifice of intimacy begins to sour. By so hyper-focusing on her reactions we feel we somehow know more about her true self than those around her. Radwanski smartly uses this natural reaction to carry the entire film building up the audience's relationship with Anne as all at once intimate but impenetrable. But as we follow Anne’s darting eyes across the screen, the unconscious effect of the visuals will cause you to physically tense up in your own fit of empathetic paranoia.
