"A couple, seemingly content in their solitude, emerge from Hitchcockian shadows… The setting relies on lighting to carry the drama."
Claire Jackson - The Telegraph - 08/06/2024
"Time in the Eckberts' world moved differently, with Jamie Platt’s lighting suggesting various points within the day, with a captivating purple hue appearing for the Bird’s aria... Nature appears blocked-off, with white blinds turning the Scandi house into what felt at first like an abandoned burger van, then revealing itself as a lightbox."
