As onetime school friends Heather (Harris) and Carla (Dormer), the two women turn in what is essentially a two-hander for director Guillem Morales, expertly negotiating the story’s many twists and turns.

The Wasp is a thrillingly twisty chamber piece, and you’d be hard pressed to fight the desire to immediately rewatch it straight after your first viewing, just to see how director Guillem Morales and his collaborators pull it off so convincingly. A confident portrait of how the tiny humiliations of childhood can fester, The Wasp is a delicious, dark delight.
