2017 Directed by Mary Harron
Based on the true story of Grace Marks, a housemaid and immigrant from Ireland who was imprisoned in 1843, perhaps wrongly, for the murder of her employer Thomas Kinnear. Grace claims to have no memory of the murder yet the facts are irrefutable. A decade after, Dr. Simon Jordan tries to help Grace recall her past.

"And the evening was so beautiful, it made a pain in my heart, as when you cannot tell whether you are happy or sad."
Such an amazingly well-written look inside the complexity of oppressed women that might not be the first of its kind, however, it never fails to amaze me how these stories still feel so refreshing. Really made me miss Mary Harron as a director but I‘m glad that everyone now agress on the fact that Sarah Gadon is the second coming of christ.
that emmy for outstanding lead actress in a limited series will be sarah gadon's or so help me god
"the ending is barely even focused on Grace’s honesty, or on her innocence. The series’ final question is why, exactly, watching a woman in pain is something we find entertaining." - Kathryn VanArendonk
Fascinating character study that uses an even more fascinating patchwork metaphor. We are our memories. Sarah Gadon should be the next big thing.
The last couple of episodes feel a bit underwhelming but when you really analyse what you've seen and its significance it's hard not to be blown away. That final look of what was perhaps victory for an innocent woman who finally gets to enjoy the small things, perhaps regret or perhaps total malicious intent is burned in my brain.
dr. simon jordan: i want to know more about you
grace: good luck i'm behind 7 fabricated personalities :)
@men: female pain is not for your morbid fascination! we don’t want your crocodile tears! we don’t want to cut ourselves open so you can frown and pity us! ya know what we want? we want you to fucking change!
strongly recommend this one, y’all. Thank you Mary Harmon and Sarah Polley for this gift. come for the wonderful performances and script, stay for a shockingly non-creepy David Cronenberg.
grace comparing dr. simon to a dog that has their ears pricked forward, eyes shining and tongue hanging out while he listens to her? she's also describing me every time sarah gadon is on-screen.
