About
You may like this if you enjoy experimental, dreamlike sci-fi with unsettling medical themes and a challenging pace, similar to Videodrome or Black Moon; Not for you if you want clear storytelling, dialogue-heavy scenes, or fast-moving plots.
Pros: bold dystopian concept; eerie, hypnotic mood; memorable weird ideas | Cons: hard-to-follow story; very slow pacing; emotionally distant tone
