I felt exactly the same. It certainly highlighted how deep you can get mentally, and take yourself into very, very dark places.
But yes, the performances were great.
With The Mental depression we are facing, this movie may not be for everyone.

because it was so distressing. But I stayed. It is an intense story of misogyny and how patriarchy doesn't listen/believe women. Rose Byrne is sensational and Conan O'Brien is surprisingly strong.

Rose Byrne's performance was amazing, but it was such a claustrophobic experience. And the tube scene? I was cringing the entire time.

Rose Byrne was terrific as the suffering mother and deserves all the acclaim she’s received. Two scenes stand out: the testy hamster and the feeding tube. Can’t say it was a film I enjoyed, it was too nerve wracking, but I’d recommend it for others to view and make up their minds.
