About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody, character-driven drama about grief, connection, and uneasy mystery, with a slow build and a dreamlike edge; Not for you if you want a straightforward thriller or clear answers like Chambers.
Pros: strong lead performances; haunting, poetic mood; emotional themes of grief | Cons: slow burn pacing; familiar story beats; uneven payoff for some
