About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, heartbreaking drama with a subtle sci‑fi premise and lingering moral questions, similar in tone to Atonement; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear explanations, or uplifting outcomes.
Pros: deeply emotional story; haunting, memorable mood; thought-provoking premise | Cons: slow, subdued pacing; feels detached for some; story feels rushed
