CGiii Comment

Equestrian gymnastics...not the most popular sport seen on film.

Two teen girls...the led and the leader...play mind-games.

The pace is slow, the intention...sinister.

Frankly, the result is low-key monotony...the silly games they play - especially with the young man - are unoriginal, mindless and juvenile...making it difficult to stifle a yawn.

There's nothing new, nothing surprising...even the subplot goes nowhere.

Aschan's debut looks good - but, with an insurmountable lack of energy...interest disintegrates quickly.

The(ir) Blurb...

When Emma meets Cassandra, they initiate a relationship filled with physical and psychological challenges. Emma does whatever it takes to master the rules of the game. Lines are crossed and the stakes get higher and higher. Despite this, Emma can't resist the intoxicating feeling of total control.
