The Undoing

Sun, Oct 25, 202054 mins

British oncologist Jonathan lives in Manhattan with wife Grace Fraser, a successful psychologist, and their bright teen son Henry, who attends the elite Reardon School. Grace is on the Reardon parents fundraisers committee that plans an auction event, where she meets enigmatic Elena Alves, who brought her baby, whom Grace encounters repeatedly the next several days: once in a gym bathroom, where a nude Elena thanks her "kindness" by not ignoring her and later at the auction itself, where Grace finds Elena crying in the bathroom. Leaving the event, Elena kisses Grace on the lips in the elevator. The next day, Elena's grossly-mutilated body is discovered in her artist's studio by her pre-teen son, Reardon student Miguel Alves. The police questions Grace and her friends on the murder, and Elena's husband Fernando, initially an obvious suspect, has an alibi. Grace attempts to reach Jonathan at an oncology conference in Cleveland, but finds that he has left his smartphone in the nightstand by the bed. Unable to trace his whereabouts, Grace gets paranoid and has visions of the murder.
