Many viewers found the Netflix original frustrating due to its far-fetched plot and characters’ irrational decisions. One viewer expressed their disappointment: "I found this movie very frustrating. It starts well, but then becomes a chain of increasingly unbelievable decisions." Another agreed, criticizing the main character’s choices as "so infuriating… don’t recommend watching if you have common sense…".
What’s the Story?
The thriller follows Natalie Madueño as Louise Andersen, a woman living a peaceful life on a Norwegian island. Her world turns upside down when a stranger claims she is Helene Söderberg, a missing person from Denmark. Louise leaves her loved ones to uncover the truth about her mysterious past, only to discover shocking revelations about her identity.
