Synopsis

Dr. Victor Mott is a respected and successful gynecologist, but both come to a crashing halt when he is accused of sexually molesting his patients. When Claire Bartel accuses him of this crime, four other women come forward to corroborate the story. Stripped of his license and on the verge of being sent to prison, Dr. Mott commits suicide.

Dr. Mott's now-widowed wife suffers a miscarriage, and is on the verge of losing her home to civil judgments against her husband's estate. Broken, alone and now near-penniless, Mrs. Mott learns that Claire is seeking a nanny for her own young children, and sees this as the perfect tool to exact a bloody revenge on Claire Bartel, and take Claire's family for her own.

On the other hand, I found some of the musical cues to be a bit predictable and cliché. While the music effectively underscored the dramatic moments, there were times when it felt a bit too on-the-nose and took away from the subtlety of the narrative.

The music in the film often felt intrusive and distracting, pulling me out of the immersive experience rather than enhancing it. Instead of enhancing the suspense or emotional impact of key scenes, the soundtrack seemed to clash with the tone of the movie, making it difficult to fully engage with the story.
