It’s tempting to see the film as a character study, but there’s a lot about Romy that Reijn would rather not share. Romy’s assistant, Esme (Sophie Wilde), mentions that her boss grew up in a cult. We catch a glimpse of it in a quick flashback. But there’s no pathological “a-ha!” moment. Romy is who she is.
