Mia Goth should win an academy award for her performance. That 9 minute monologue near the end of the movie will be used in acting classes for decades. Just her face with a stationary camera and with all that expression and no cuts, real tears (no cuts for eye drops). I bet that was her part of the writing credit and that is nod worthy as well.
