SUSPENSE DRAMA Wednesday, on demand, Netflix ★★★★ Following last year’s Eileen, Anne Hathaway again leans into a Hitchcock antihero vibe with a dollop of melodrama with this handsome take on Barbara Abel’s absorbing novel.

But when a fatal accident brings grief to the door of the neighbours, resentment, suspicion, jealousy, mental-health issues and murderous intent threaten to sully the pristine white gloves of the…
