Tension galore! Adoring the chess metaphor. We can clearly see that Julian one-ups Paul at every turn, and in some ways sees him a worthy toy. Every moment in which Paul gets a small victory makes me cheer. Paul’s misery is palpable and that’s why he’s so ripe for the picking. Can’t wait until they screw already.
The setting is excellent, references galore. Love Paul’s working-class 2nd generation family.

Still enjoying this. Julian’s parents are rather cartoonishly evil. You can feel the walls creeping in as they fantasize about how to commit murder.

Also very much a “Rope” vibe already. Hitchcockian indeed.
