About
You’ll like this if you enjoy Lynch-style, unsettling surrealism and don’t need everything to click on first watch; Not for you if you want a clear, coherent story or prefer easier entry points like Mandy or Santa Sangre.
Pros: dreamlike dread; strong lead performance; eerie vibe | Cons: hard to follow; fragmented structure; divisive length
