Overall this was a fairly enjoyable movie that was kind of psychological / social horror. I think the most interesting thing to analyse is the feminism however.
The film handles patriarchy actually surprisingly well. It's about an evil bourgeois moid who makes the world think his wife is crazy but he is like locking her up and torturing her. Because he is of the bourgeois class he gets away with it all, everyone believes him and not his wife. She ends up being gaslighted into confessing that she tried to kill herself and her daughter after being held at a psychiatric concentration camp for months with nobody believing her.
The evil moid literally owns everything, she doesn't have parents or anyone else and most importantly because of the psychiatric things she wouldn't get to keep her daughter and so the moid would instil the child with his rules.
The main character is brought in as a housekeeper by the woman because she knows the man will find her attractive and ditch her, thereby freeing herself. Also importantly the MC already killed a rich rapist in defence of someone else, but because he was rich and she was poor everyone thought it was murder so she was in prison for a decade and is still on parole, which is why she now can't move out.
For the first half of the film you think its the woman is completely crazy and its the moid being charming. The MC is not stupid but she is attracted to him and they have sex. But then the MC is locked in a room and forced to do the self mutilation that the other woman was. There is also like not enough water so they are dehydrated. Anyway she stabs the moid and locks him in instead and proceeds to torture him by smashing his mum's china plates (which is literally the worst possible thing for him and also why he locked her up) and makes him tear one of his teeth out with plyers. Torture against bourgeois moids is very based.
In the end the woman comes back and they both kill him and get away with it because one of the pigs that shows up also knew someone he'd abused. The main character becomes a professional abusive husband killer. Extremely based.
The film has pretty good feminism because it's not just about man vs woman, its rich vs poor. The real goodies are all working class. All the bourgeois men are evil and the only good man is also the only working class man in the film, who is also an immigrant. He helps them out throughout the film. So the film is reall
