The film’s structure follows an abuse cycle: calm or honeymoon, tension building, rupture, and an attempted reconciliation. The opening offers the appearance that everything is great. Tension builds by A Month Later, ruptures in No.31, and Jack’s attempt at reconciliation in No.50 is rejected. He spins out, and the violence escalates.
