  • Matty physically leading Ned by his penis is praised as an unusually literal metaphor for erotic-thriller desire.
  • Breaking through the glass while Matty watches is praised as an erotic act in itself.
  • The initial concert encounter is a scene candidate for repeated sexually charged verbal exchanges.
  • The bar encounter is praised because Matty effectively announces her danger while Ned mistakes being chosen for a compliment.
  • The chair-through-glass sequence is praised for Matty’s stillness, camera perspectives through the door and an almost horror-like quality.
  • Teddy’s first appearance is a scene candidate for charismatic delivery and unusually wise warnings to Ned.
  • The cocaine inscription is corrected to Teddy’s second scene, distinguishing it from the first appearance.
  • The murder is enjoyed as a noir set piece, including the shouted warning that the husband has a gun.
  • The will assessment is praised for revealing Matty through the camera’s movement and for everyone producing cigarettes after a smoking request.
  • Peter and Oscar’s visit warning Ned to stay away from Matty is a scene candidate; his attraction and her imminent inheritance make the advice ineffective.
  • Ned’s freezer-side conversation with Peter and Oscar is praised for believable old-friend familiarity and his attempt to recast greed as a reason to pursue Matty.
  • Peter explaining the situation while Ned begins to realize his nightmare is another scene candidate.
  • The boathouse confrontation and island ending are nominated, with boathouse nitpicks deferred.
  • The chair-through-glass sequence is a final scene preference.
  • Marianne’s gazebo scene is added as a scene candidate.
  • The yearbook reveal is praised as satisfying.
  • Teddy’s first scene is a personal favorite, qualified because it excludes the central pair.
  • The bar encounter is a provisional final preference.
  • The first meeting receives a number-one choice and subsequent agreement.
