Eileen
Eileen
The stagnant waters of Eileen's dull, stifled life as a solitary worker at a juvenile detention center in 1960s Boston, are unexpectedly disrupted when the institution brings in a new psychologist, the vibrant Rebecca. The fervent enthusiasm that blossoms between the two women almost immediately gives way to a closer relationship, until their fragile connection takes a dramatic turn.

Book gets full stars. This movie had a decent enough vibe, but I feel they threw away a lot of what made the book what it was (like the framing narration from an aged Eileen), & the relatively few changes they made to the actual story /events felt wrong - every single one.
Probably not the kind of book that should have been made into a movie anyhow
