    ★ 8/10

    This is the story of Tim, who's probably bi, and he starts a relationship with Ivo a professor in Tim's last year of college. It is not a healthy relationship as Ivo is abusive. When Tim goes to break it off, Ivo assaults him again, but this time Tim pushes back a Ivo is knocked out. Assuming that he is dead, Tim tries to cover up the murder (big mistake). A year later and Tim has withdrawn and basically become prisoner in his own mind. (Spoiler warning), Ivo lived and comes to confront Tim. The movie ends with Tim relieved that he didn't kill anyone, but it also leaves you with a sense that it is going to take Tim a long time to heal from this ordeal. There were a few other shocking things that happened as well that I didn't cover here.
