About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a claustrophobic, unsettling descent into paranoia with heavy performances and ambiguity about what’s real, similar in vibe to Vivarium or May; Not for you if you need clear answers or lighter thrills.
Pros: intense two-person drama; strong lead performances; unsettling paranoia build | Cons: uneven pacing; gets very strange; bleak, unresolved feel
