EILEEN

Dir. WILLIAM OLDROYD, USA 2023, 97 min. The stagnant waters of Eileen’s dull, stifled life as a solitary worker at a juvenile detention centre in 1960s Boston, are unexpectedly disrupted when the institution brings in a new psychologist, the vibrant Rebecca. The fervent enthusiasm that blossoms between the two women almost immediately gives way to a closer relationship, until their fragile connection takes a dramatic turn.
