I would not call this a "thriller", at all. It *is* a mystery. The last half hour is played much straighter than the first hour and the result is more impactful. The problem is the first hour also qualifies for the genre tag "dark comedy" due to all the stereotypical portrayals of toxic masculinity. Essentially, the film is about the cumulative effect of the experiences of toxic masculinity on one woman, and her reactions to it. Rebecca Liddiard is interesting and engaging in a nicely layered performance as that one woman. I don't want to say the other actors, particularly the males, gave obviously lower quality performances, but I almost had the sense they were so embarrassed to be portraying those stereotypes that they did not really know how to do it effectively. I think the overall film would have benefited from the men being played straight, instead of as foolish caricatures with no self-awareness, all the way through. At the end of the day, this took on an important topic on a very low budget and provided some interesting twists, resulting in not a terrible film but not above average either. Mostly, it made me want to see more of Liddiard.

This could have been a gripping thriller along the lines of A Perfect Murder, keeping the audience guessing until the flip at the end. Instead, we get drawn-out scenes showing the protagonist Anne being belittled by a misogynistic boss, frustrated by a lazy co-worker who is valued more than she is, mistreated by a guy she hooks up with via a dating app, and intimidated by an aggressive neighborhood jogger. All these scenes with two-dimensional male stereotypes are interspersed with scenes featuring a psychologist who tries to get her to dig deeper into herself to discover the truth of why she's in the hospital, and scenes of her best girlfriend expounding on how she keeps her married sex life spicy. The idea is good, and the themes of the still-existing glass ceiling and the subjugation of women are relevant. But I can't help but feel they could have been written with more depth and more connection to the actual crime that isn't revealed until the very end. Had we known more about what had happened, the other issues would have been more compelling, and perhaps the male characters wouldn't have been such shallow, cookie-cutter stereotypes. I applaud the attempt to address the very real issue of partner abuse as it affects women in our society. I only wish it wasn't so shallow and ham-handed.

If you want to know what a movie would look like if it were made by people who think "well she was asking for it, just look at how she was dressed," this is the movie for you. The actors and actresses I'm sure did the best they could with the screenplay provided. But when you're asked to act in a morality tale about how desperately women need to be protected from their own emotions and experiences how much can one expect? Key takeaways: women tend to fantasize and/or imagine abuse; the men they think are their abusers are really their heroes; women will become insane and invent abuse scenarios if that will protect their delicate oh-so-fragile egos; and, most importantly, any claims of abuse by a woman are a fiction she concocts to save herself from any culpability from anything...ever.

If this film were Romanian or French, US producers would throw tons of money at it to make an English language version in which Nicole Kidman plays the shrink. As it is, Marina Sirtis is outstanding as the psychiatrist charged with unraveling the mystery of a particularly heinous crime scene, no Kidman necessary. A Thousand Little cuts is an absolute gem of a layered thriller that deserved far more financing than it got; hence the rating of 8- it sometimes comes off as a bit too low budget. The story and storytelling are superb. Writer/Director Joshua Brandon also inspired excellent performances. The film was a most engaging, pleasant surprise and I look forward to seeing more of Brandon's work.

I would not categorize this as a suspense film. I would classify it as more of a drama. I believe it was well acted, but it was a little slow, yet enough to keep my attention. I recognized the lead actress from a Lifetime movie. I did not see that twist at the very end of the movie coming. I don't think it was warranted, considering the trauma that was revealed in the movie. If you watch it, you can decide for yourself and you'll understand what I'm referring to. I gave it a thumbs up. That's really all I have to say, but I need to meet the minimum amount of characters, which is very annoying!

This movie was very much Not Good. The writing was awful, the acting was not good, and the "twist" (if you can call it that) was not worth the payoff. It felt much longer than its 90 minute runtime. Several scenes were superfluous (we didn't need to see ANY of the scenes with the psychiatrist and her husband), the scenes with the psychiatrist and the detective were redundant (three separate scenes to illustrate the same point), and the weird coaxing out the story from Anne wasn't convincing at all. Don't even get me started on the various scenes of her at work - which also added nothing to the overall plot. Genuinely confused at this 4+/5 rating.

A great story and plot. Kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat. Great twist at the end. Excellent acting. Really liked it. So did my wife and daughters.

I'm a bit confused about the IMDb rating which shows a 4.8. There are only 9 user reviews which would give this movie a lot better than the 4.8 IMO this movie is at least an 8-9. My reasoning behind this is it has a good cast and a well written script. It keeps your attention for the most part from beginning to end with some twists with a very unexpected one at this end. Watch this movie and you will understand what I'm talking about.

It's not a great movie, it's no Ashley Judd Morgan Freeman classic from the 90s but it's ok enough to watch, the twist at the end is a bit cliché and the getting there is a bit frustrating, some of it just makes no sense ie: no development on the jogger, just a couple random instances and blam? I don't know, it was ok enough to watch, won't be recommending it like Promising Young Woman or The Hunt, which are kinda in this genre.
