A delusional estate agent’s life spirals into chaos in this darkly comic London thriller that swaps property listings for criminal entanglements. The film follows Natasha, a small-time realtor whose professional façade crumbles alongside her mounting personal demons.
Operating from a modest office with a handful of employees, Natasha navigates London’s competitive property market with the practiced ease of someone fluent in estate agent vernacular—where cramped spaces become “cosy” and remote locations transform into “rural retreats.” Yet her professional confidence masks a rapidly deteriorating reality, fueled by escalating cocaine use and mounting debts to both acquaintances and more dangerous creditors.
The narrative takes an unexpected turn when Natasha becomes embroiled in the kidnapping of a rival estate agent, forcing her to guard her captive at a remote Essex property. What begins as a tense thriller gradually morphs into something far more unhinged, charting the protagonist’s descent into psychological turmoil rather than delivering conventional comeuppance.
At the centre of this chaotic journey is a compelling lead performance that captures both the character’s brittle humour and complete self-deception. The actor portrays Natasha’s unraveling with such intensity that viewers may find themselves overlooking the film’s increasingly illogical third act, which ventures into bloody excess that feels somewhat unearned.
The atmospheric tension is heightened by a pulsating electronic score that underscores the narrative’s descent into madness. While the film doesn’t fully cohere into a satisfying whole, it remains a memorable exploration of a character losing her grip on reality, set against the backdrop of London’s cutthroat property world.
