Our take
An Amazon MA 15+ mystery thriller starring Nicole Kidman. A picture-perfect Michigan town hides serial murders, throat-slitting and a shooting with bloody detail. Marital kissing, implied masturbation, a homophobic slur and multiple f-words all appear. Best for 16 and up.
Uplifting themes
Seeking the truth matters, but the tone stays dark The lead is sympathetic, yet drawn into an affair
Story (may spoil tone)
Teacher Nancy's life with her husband in Holland, Michigan, tumbles into a twisted tale when she and a colleague become suspicious of a secret.
